Sprat salad with croutons
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. Salads are very convenient. Chop a few things, season with this, dress with that — and a delicious salad is ready. Minimal time investment, yet a satisfying dish on the table. That's why on New Year's Eve, when main dishes, baked goods, and various appetizers usually take up most of the time, we shouldn't forget about salads — quick to prepare, yet filling and perfect for enhancing the festive atmosphere. One of my favorite New Year's salads is sprat salad with croutons — very tasty, hearty, and festive. I'm sharing my signature recipe here — although "signature" sounds a bit exaggerated, since there's nothing unusual about it. Ready to serve immediately.
