Recipe from Rodion Sadovsky, chef of the restaurant Tutta la vita.

The salad recipe from the 1939 "Book of Tasty and Healthy Food" calls for canned oysters or, as the authors correct, if you come across fresh mollusks, they must be boiled in broth with parsley and celery. We boiled them and got a taste that was something between mussels and a poached egg. The salad itself — with green apple, white wine, potatoes and herbs — is a completely modern and win-win environment for any seafood. If you want to preserve the oyster freshness and give the salad a more marine character, add fresh oysters.
