Meat salad with mint and zucchini is a harmony of freshness and rich flavor born from the traditions of Chinese cuisine. The lightly crusted filet mignon pairs with crunchy vegetables and aromatic mint, creating a wonderful play of textures. The dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey adds subtle sweet-and-sour notes highlighted by pine nuts. This salad is perfect for a light dinner or festive table, impressing with its balance of flavors and elegant presentation.
