“A well-made salad must have a certain uniformity; it should make perfect sense for those ingredients to share a bowl.” – Yotam Ottolenghi, British-based chef, cookery writer & restaurant owner

Did you know that tomato is a fruit?

Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Source: Oxford Dictionaries.

Caviar

Delicacy consisting of salt-cured fish-eggs of the Acipenseridae family. The roe can be “fresh” (non-pasteurized) or pasteurized, with pasteurization reducing its culinary & economic value. Traditionally, the term caviar refers only to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian & Black Sea. Depending on the country, caviar may also be used to describe the roe of other fish such as salmon, steelhead, trout, lumpfish, whitefish & other species of sturgeon.

A spoonful of caviar supplies the adult daily requirement of vitamin B12, it is also high in cholesterol and salt. 1 tablespoon (16 g) of caviar contains:

TIPs:

  • Salad is best crispy, but not soil-crispy. When washing spring onion, cut the green ends lengthwise and wash it inside.
  • Salad drier – best way how to prevent your salad from being watery.
  • Don’t forget – Salt causes juices to come out of the vegetables.

Enjoy this quick & healthy recipe. Add some vitamins into your diet. Thx for your time guys. Xxx.
