Tongue salad is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of beef tongue with the spiciness of pickled cucumbers and the freshness of green onions. This salad has a rich yet balanced flavor, where the slight acidity of the cucumbers harmoniously complements the delicate texture of the tongue. Canned green peas add a sweet note, while oil with ground pepper provides finesse and completeness to the flavor ensemble. The dish is perfect for both festive gatherings and everyday dinners due to its simplicity in preparation and aristocratic taste. In Europe, tongue is considered a delicacy, and its use in salad makes the dish particularly sophisticated. Such a salad can be served alone or as an exquisite addition to meat dishes.
