At the words “Georgian salad”, a Russian person associates with a huge amount of spicy greens, fresh vegetables, various sauces with nuts and pomegranate seeds, as well as with Suluguni or Adyghe cheese and olives. But no one will give you a clear single recipe. And rightly so, because there are a great many salads in Georgia. And they all have amazing taste and a huge set of vitamins.
Below are a few recipes that Georgian cuisine is especially famous for. Salads can be purely vegetarian, as well as meat. Each recipe can be served with your favorite sauces - both authentic, Caucasian, and your favorite. So let's get started.
1. Georgian salad for barbecue
Two sweet peppers (ideally red and yellow) are peeled and cut into slices together with two tomatoes and two cucumbers. We cut one hundred or a little more grams of Suluguni cheese into cubes. Lettuce leaves should be washed andtear by hand. We put leaves and vegetables in a deep bowl, throw black pitted olives (whole) and finely chopped herbs: basil, cilantro, dill. We choose the amount of the last ingredients based on our own preferences. Dress the dish with olive oil and a few splashes of balsamic vinegar. Drinks well with Khvanchkara.
2. Georgian salad with walnut dressing
Cut three cucumbers and an onion into circles, and three tomatoes into large slices. Put in a bowl. Blue basil and mint with any other greens of your choice are manually chopped over vegetables. In a blender, grind 40-50 g of walnut kernels, an incomplete teaspoon of s alt, red pepper on the tip of a knife and chopped 2-3 cloves of garlic. Put the nut mixture in a separate bowl, add 2 tablespoons of wine vinegar and dilute with water so that the sauce has the consistency of liquid sour cream. 10-15 minutes before serving, mix the salad with the dressing so that all the ingredients have time to mix well.
3. Georgian Traditional Salad
Tomatoes for this dish (3 pieces) are cut into cubes. 200 grams of smoked sausage are cut into strips, and 100-150 g of hard cheese are rubbed on a coarse grater. Squeeze two cloves of garlic into the total mass, mix and let stand for 10 minutes. After that, season with mayonnaise mixed with fresh herbs to your taste. You can decorate such a cute dish with grains
pomegranate and basil leaves. For lovers of spices, you can, along with fresh herbsuse tarragon herb. But getting it on the shelves of our food markets is problematic.
4. Hearty Georgian Beef Salad

Boil two carrots in a peel and cut into circles. 300 grams of champignons fried and coarsely chopped. Add 300 g of canned peas, 3-4 cloves of garlic squeezed under pressure, a bunch of spicy greens.
