Liver Salad with Honey Sauce

2 servings

30 minutes

A salad of green leaves, liver and a sweet honey dressing is so familiar and banal that it probably wasn't worth retelling the hackneyed plot for the hundredth time. But that's only if Dmitry Zotov doesn't take on the retelling , and he is known not only as the creator of Zotman Pizza, but also as a lover of bringing the most seemingly boring recipes to gastronomic perfection (here's his "Damn Tasty Doshirak" for example). So the salad turned out to be unusual: tomatoes, fried liver, leaves, everything like everyone else, but the sauce is not simple, but Asian, with a perky ginger note, in which the liver is also caramelized. And another cool detail is crushed hazelnuts as a final sprinkle. How it crunches and contrasts with the tender liver - simply a sight to behold.
