Tuscan salad, made in the colors of the Italian flag. Literally a few spoons are enough to create a pleasant heaviness in the stomach. A very useful thing from the point of view of the morning, when it is difficult to cram large doses of biomass into yourself, but you want to eat at the same time. In addition to arugula, corn salad and sorrel leaves feel confident in this salad, but green wild garlic behaves best of all. By the way, using it, you can refuse garlic. This salad generally allows for many plot deviations. For example, instead of salt, you can use soy sauce: it is very appropriate in combination with beans. And for greater decorum, you can drop a little balsamic vinegar into the bowl.
