Tongue salad with croutons is an exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that harmoniously combines the tenderness of veal tongue, the freshness of tomatoes, and the crunch of Borodinsky croutons. This salad is a successful embodiment of traditions, as tongue has been valued for its softness and rich flavor since ancient times. The boiled tongue is cut into strips and complemented with boiled eggs, cheese, and a tangy dressing made from mayonnaise and yolks, creating a rich and slightly creamy texture. The croutons toasted to a golden crisp add a bright contrast to the dish and make it especially appetizing. The salad is perfect for both festive tables and cozy family dinners, delighting guests with its rich taste and heartiness.
