Warm salad with ham and chanterelles is a harmony of flavors and textures born in Russian cuisine. It combines the richness of ham, the woody note of chanterelles, and the tenderness of pine nuts, creating a rich and layered taste. Lemon juice and red wine vinegar add a light tanginess that highlights the freshness of the salad leaves. This dish is perfect for an autumn or winter table when you crave something nourishing but not too heavy. It can be served as a standalone dinner or as an accompaniment to a main dish. The warm dressing enhances the aroma of the ingredients, making each bite rich and enjoyable. A great choice for a cozy evening when you want to warm up with something delicious and soulful.
