Light European salad is the embodiment of freshness and harmony of flavors. It originates from Mediterranean cuisine, where vegetables and greens are the foundation of healthy eating. The salad combines crunchy cucumbers, tender arugula, and iceberg lettuce, while sweet pepper adds juiciness and a hint of sweetness. The dressing made of olive oil, white wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard gives the dish spiciness and sophistication. Dried basil adds a warm aromatic note, while sea salt enhances the natural taste of the ingredients. This salad is perfect as a light appetizer or side dish, beautifully complementing fish or meat dishes. Its fresh and invigorating taste makes it an excellent choice for warm summer days.
