  • 1 teaspoon honey;

How to prepare a salad

2. Cut tomatoes and onions into half rings, cucumbers into rings, and peppers into strips.

3. When the vegetables are prepared, start preparing the dressing. In a separate bowl, combine the mustard, chopped garlic and honey.

4. The mass is supplemented with aromatic oil, lemon juice, spices and salt. It is most convenient to prepare the dressing in a jar that can be closed, because at the end you need to shake the mixture vigorously.
