A warm salad is prepared when you want to serve something unusual to the table. Try the options with bacon, pancetta, meat, sausages, poultry, pasta, potatoes. Season with various oils. Diversify the festive table with salads arugula, radicchio, lettuce, watercress, and also use spicy parsley, coriander or dill. Use balsamic or wine vinegar as a dressing.
There are an incredible number of recipes for warm salads in the cuisine of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. A wide variety of ingredients are suitable for their preparation. Cooks do not recommend using more than four or five components. Warm salads are absolutely universal and self-sufficient dishes for any occasion, and not additions to side dishes or meat dishes. And one more important rule: there should absolutely not be too fatty sauces in the dish (mayonnaise, sour cream or bechamel). The best dressing for a warm salad will be olive oil with pepper, salt, mustard. Natural wine, balsamic vinegar or citrus juices (lime and lemon) will be added to the colors. Such dressings can be warmed up and mixed with their own juices of the components and oil after roasting the components of the salad.
Warm salads, especially in the cold season, are my weakness. I love wild rice, and in combination with mushrooms and beans, it is extremely tasty and healthy! Serve as a salad, or you can serve it as an independent dish.
