Crusty meat, sour-sweet sauce perfectly coating salad leaves… This salad has become favorite among my closest people. It is good for breakfast, perfect for lunch and and suitable even for a light dinner.
One of the best features of this dressing that You can skip adding salt. The eater will not even notice the absence of it because of the richness of the sauce.
