40 minutes
Vegetable salad with ham, yogurt, and anchovies is a refined recipe from Estonian cuisine that combines the freshness of vegetables, the piquancy of anchovies, and the tenderness of yogurt sauce. This salad resembles classic European potato salads but gains a unique flavor from the addition of apples, anchovies, and pickles. The sweet notes of the fruits harmoniously intertwine with the saltiness of the fish, creating a balance of taste. The anchovy sauce mixed with yogurt and olive oil gives the dish softness and a pleasant creamy texture. Such a salad is perfect as a light appetizer or standalone dish in festive and everyday menus.
