Salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. This is exactly how I first came across this dish. Juicy, very light, and appetizing, the "Lakomka" salad is perfect for spicing up your home menu when usual snacks have become a bit boring. You can also use it to fill tartlets and serve at buffets or festive tables. Serve chilled.
