45 minutes
Seafood salad with squid and salmon is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the freshness of seafood, the tenderness of salmon, and the crunchy texture of vegetables. The history of such salads originates from Mediterranean culinary traditions where seafood played a key role. The taste elegantly balances between the light acidity of apples and lemon juice, the tenderness of squid, and the richness of salmon. Red caviar adds spiciness and a refined texture. Dressed with a sauce made from mayonnaise and melted cheese, the salad acquires a creamy consistency. This salad is perfect for a festive table; served chilled with caviar and a slice of lemon, it will adorn a gastronomic evening. The dish not only delights in taste but is also healthy due to seafood rich in protein and trace elements.
