A family recipe from our editor Lyudmila Salnikova. The recipe is one of those that were once written down by hand in thick culinary notebooks and passed down through generations. The set of herbs for pickling can be changed and supplemented, for example , by introducing currant or horseradish leaves into it. The main thing here is not the content, but the surprise itself, which is found inside each tomato. But you should not get too carried away - from an excess of additions, the brine becomes cloudy. Opening a jar with a summer dill aroma is especially pleasant in winter, when bad weather rages outside. Although they rarely survive until winter, especially since the recipe is from the category "quickly pickled, quickly eaten": a week after preparation, you can and should start tasting.

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.
