Smoked fish, pasta and apple salad

6 servings

40 minutes

This salad is a bold and unexpected union of tender pasta, aromatic smoked fish, and refreshing apple. Its origin can be linked to Russian cuisine, where smoked fish has always held a place of honor. The sweet-and-sour apples add lightness to the dish, balancing the salty taste of the fish, while the onion adds zest. Dressed with mayonnaise, the salad turns out tender, rich, and harmonious. It is perfect as an appetizer for a festive table or as a hearty yet light dish for everyday dinner. An ideal choice for those who appreciate the combination of classic Russian ingredients in a new interpretation.
