The enormous popularity of vinaigrette in the post-Soviet space is easily explained.
The salad consists of the simplest and most accessible ingredients, is quick to prepare and is quite appetizing.
But many gourmets complain that the dish still lacks piquancy.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem. Just before serving, add one component to the salad bowl with the vinaigrette.
What will transform the taste of a salad
It turns out that a simple salad can be transformed into a restaurant-quality dish using lemon zest.
Wash the citrus peel thoroughly, remove excess moisture with paper towels and place the lemon “peel” directly into the vinaigrette.
Thanks to this unusual additive, the dish will acquire a very bright taste.
There will be a piquancy that is usually lacking in vinaigrette. At the same time, the light sourness and bitterness will not overshadow the tastes of the vegetable ingredients. On the contrary, the aromas of the main ingredients will be emphasized.
Of course, you don't need to eat the lemon peel. Moreover, 10-15 minutes after adding it to the salad, you will need to remove the peel: by that time, the component will have done its "work".
