Cold and hot snacks are light dishes that are served before a meal to enhance appetite or for an aperitif. These are sandwiches, tartlets, various mini rolls, pates… A lot depends on their presentation: an original and appetising snack prepares guests for what the feast will be like. Homemade snacks and buffet snacks are usually fresh, cooked or pickled vegetables, mushrooms, meat, fish, sausages, canned meat and fish, eggs or cheese.

Delicious, tender and hearty salad with white beans in tomato sauce and mushrooms. I like that the salad turns out to be hearty, but not greasy, because the oil is used only for frying.
A beautiful, fragrant and very tasty salad with beans and boiled rice. A very tasty salad that perfectly replaced dinner! Everything in it is in moderation, well balanced to taste.
The salad is light, has a spectacular taste and is interesting in itself, because in addition to the usual ingredients, roasted peanuts were added to it, which gave it a slightly crispy texture and aroma inherent only in this earthy “nut”.
I want to offer you a recipe for brain salad, which we have been preparing for the holidays for many years. During this time, we learned how to cook beans for this salad.
Agree with everyone who is tired of heavy mayonnaise salads. Now I want something delicious and make it even easier. This salad was not found in the search engine, so cook. Source – Mom, read the recipe in some magazine.
A very well-known salad, but neither by name nor by the composition of similar products is found. I decided to propose. Hearty salad, minimum cooking time.
A pie that will give pleasure not only to those who try it, but also to those who cook it. Ideal for those who are not friends with yeast dough. A pie sandwich will decorate your Easter table thanks to the sunny color of the dough and the bright filling. It is good for cozy home gatherings, and for guests, and for outings into nature. P.S. Following the detailed instructions given in the recipe, the pie will suit even an inexperienced hostess.
Another dish of Turkish home cooking. Mostly served with cutlets – as a side dish, as a salad. I really liked the salad, it’s so beautiful, and the presence of beans makes it as useful as possible.
My attitude to this salad is already indicated in the title. It’s as if all the ingredients except one are perfectly combined. But it is the mushrooms that give this salad a unique taste.
