Salads are the simplest and most affordable dish that you can feed your guests to your satisfaction and, if you wish, it is pleasant to surprise. Even the most inexperienced housewives are able to cook salads that are original in their taste combination, because any edible mixture of products seasoned with oil or sauce can already be called an independent dish. The most common salads are from meat, fish, mushrooms and game, but if you want to try something new and more savory, we recommend preparing a liver.
The main feature of liver dishes is its preparation, since tender and juicy slices, if time and temperature limits are not respected, can be turned into hard and tasteless slices, which few people like. Salad with liver and carrots is one of the simplest and most healthy. A nice addition can be the fact that the same salad can be filled with its amazing aroma, choosing duck, pork, chicken, beef or other liver to taste. Now we will consider three recipes, of which everyone will find the most suitable for himself.
