Salad
Description
In traditional cuisine, there are many variations of the "Genaqvale" salad recipe. The classic version includes vegetables—tomatoes, cucumbers—as well as fresh herbs and spices. The primary flavor comes from a garlic-nut dressing. It is this dressing that gives the salad its aromatic, piquant, and unique taste. The salad pairs perfectly with grilled meat and other meat dishes.
