Salads with Mayonnaise – Page 2

Salads hold a special place in my culinary repertoire, as they allow for variety in meals without much effort, maintaining a balance between health and taste. I often experiment with dressings, textures, and ingredient combinations, and I can confidently say that a well-thought-out salad can become a complete meal. Caesar salad is one of them – I've prepared it in different variations: with chicken, shrimp, quail eggs, and each time the result was delicious and visually appealing. For me, the most important elements in this salad are fresh greens, crunchy croutons, and of course, the sauce, which I always make myself using good cheese, mustard, and lemon juice. I'm convinced that even a classic salad recipe can be adapted to your own taste – the key is understanding the basics and not being afraid to change the details. In my salad collection, you'll find plenty of tried-and-true ideas: from traditional to original, simple to more complex, but each of them I've made with my own hands and can sincerely recommend. Caesar salad is just one example of how a simple dish can become a favorite if it's made with love and understanding.
