The well-known salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers sparkled with new colors for us. The aromatic nut dressing in the Georgian style unusually transformed ordinary vegetables! My husband liked the Batumi salad from Ivlev most of all; he loves it spicy and aromatic) For the dressing, in addition to cilantro, I added dill. Before chopping, I fried the walnuts in a dry frying pan; this procedure perfectly reveals their aroma. Thanks to the dressing, the salad turned out hot and spicy. And after steeping in the refrigerator, the vegetables were even better soaked in the sauce. Thanks for the interesting idea and recipe!
