Delicious, original and very beautiful salad "Pearl" will become the main decoration of your table. After all, its main ingredient is caviar - red or black, and it always looks good on the table and is perfect for any celebration. There are several recipes for this salad: "Red Pearl", "Pearl of the Sea" and salad "Black Pearl". But before we get into these recipes, let's first figure out how to choose the right caviar for this dish.

Red caviar

When choosing caviar for a salad, carefully read the label and give preference to the one that is made from June to September.

It is during these months that salmon caviar is prepared from the freshest raw materials, while at other times a frozen product is used, in which nothing useful has been preserved. If the jar is made of transparent glass, consider caviar: yellow or pale orange color indicates that the product is overripe. When the jar is tilted, the caviar should move, this indicates that it has not dried up. In a metal can, the product can be evaluated only by shaking it. If the sound is too “liquid”, then set the jar aside: either theremany bursting eggs, or food emulsion manufacturers have added more than necessary. Well, the basic rules when choosing canned food: do not take swollen cans, pay attention to the smell, it should not be fishy. Only kichuga caviar has an intense fishy aroma, any other caviar will smell like that only when it goes bad. Naturally, the Pearl salad requires the use of only a quality product.

Black caviar

If sturgeon caviar is produced legally, this will be evidenced by the inscription "CITES" on the package. The color of the product varies in different shades of black, from light to dark. The size can also be different. A large one indicates that the caviar was obtained from an older sturgeon, it is more valuable, therefore it is less common and more expensive. Pay attention to the presence of liquid. Its presence at the bottom of the jar indicates that either the caviar was prepared from frozen raw materials, or simply of poor quality. The opened product should not have a fishy and especially herring smell. High-quality caviar practically does not smell, but, unfortunately, you can find out about this only by opening the package. Up to this point, you can choose the product visually, looking through a glass jar. Having remembered all these nuances when choosing the main ingredient for your dish, be sure that the Sea Pearl salad will delight you with its taste. And now let's find out a few recipes for its preparation.
