Tips

Why it works
Курицу вари до белого среза, чтобы избежать рези в животе от недоваренного мяса. Розовый цвет означает сырость внутри.
Substitutions
За чернослив возьми курагу (25 г) — будет менее сладко. Сыр замени на брынзу (30 г), если любишь кислинку.
Common mistakes
Если огурец горчит или желтеет, значит нарезали его с семенами — удаляй кожуру и серединку перед нарезкой.
Storing and reheating
Храни 2 дня в холодильнике, но лучше съешь за 1 день. Разогревай в микроволновке 30 секунд, прикрыв тарелку.
Serve with
Подавай на день рождения с шампанским или как легкий ужин после работы с чаем.
