The weather is starting to warm up and we are eating lighter. Peter is not a big fan of salads, but he’ll eat just about anything with bold flavors. These two Polish salads are refreshing, the flavors are bright and both pair really well with almost any meat or fish. And what makes them unique is the combination of ingredients that are traditionally found in Polish cuisine. Specifically, the use of dill, flavoring sour cream with a bit of sugar and salt, using sour cream over salad vegetables, etc.
