Ladies' Salo
Description
Suitable for both holidays and everyday meals. This appetizing dish is served chilled. You can take it with you on a trip or to a picnic, but wrap it in parchment paper rather than a plastic bag or cling film, otherwise the salo will "steam." Don't forget to serve it with bread when presenting the dish. Serve with herbs and sauce.
