Vasilisa Salad
4 servings
5 minutes
The 'Vasilisa' salad is an exquisite blend of freshness and spiciness embodied in Russian cuisine. Its name evokes beauty and grace, reminiscent of the tale of Vasilisa the Beautiful. The base consists of crispy iceberg lettuce, arugula, and spinach that lend lightness to the dish. Sweet notes of canned pineapple harmoniously combine with spicy Korean carrots, creating an unexpected contrast. Cherry tomatoes add juiciness while cucumbers refresh the taste. The yogurt-based dressing with mustard and spices makes the salad tender yet rich. The final touch is parmesan, adding a refined saltiness. 'Vasilisa' is perfect as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to meat and fish appetizers, enhancing their flavor and adding a festive mood.
