Spartan salad

Almost an absolute minimum of ingredients in thisversion of squid salad with apple. But this minimalism does not affect the taste in any way, on the contrary, it allows you to enjoy an amazing combination of basic products, the amount of which depends solely on your preferences. Ingredients:

• Squids;
• Apples are sour or sour-sweet;
• Fresh greens of dill;
• Mayonnaise.

Preparation:Defrost the squid, remove any mucus, film, entrails and cartilage and cut into thin strips. Put some water on the fire, bring it to a boil, put the squid strips into the boiling water and cook for three minutes. Peel the apples, cut into thin strips and put them in a bowl. Finely chop the washed and dried dill and add it to the apples. Finally, put in the cooled squid strips and season the salad with mayonnaise. Mix and serve. Note: For the original look of the squid salad with apple, it is important to cut the shellfish carcasses correctly. Cut off a test strip and throw it into boiling water. If during the cooking process the strip curls up like a pig's tail, then the goal has been achieved. Cut the remaining strips in the same way. If the cooked squid strip remains even, then continue the experiment by cutting a new strip in the opposite direction to the previous one (along or across the carcass). The salad assembled from curled pieces of squid looks like a chrysanthemum flower. Squid and apples give each of these salads an original taste. No other combination of products will repeat this exquisite piquancy. Don't believe me? Then choose a recipe and prepare the salad. Cook with pleasure and bon appetit! We recommend reading:
