25 minutes
Nettle salad is an amazing dish of Russian cuisine that embodies the freshness of spring and the richness of nature. Nettle, with its delicate taste and slight nutty notes, loses its stinging properties after processing, becoming soft and pleasant. Combined with egg, green onion, and sorrel, the salad achieves a harmonious balance of freshness and light sourness. The mayonnaise dressing adds a tender texture and rich flavor. This salad is a source of vitamins and energy, especially in spring when the body needs recovery after winter. In ancient times, nettle was often used in village cuisine due to its beneficial properties and availability. This salad is perfect for lunch or dinner and will also be an original addition to traditional Russian dishes.
