Beef heart salad with pickles and onions

Prepare this delicious salad for your loved one on Valentine's Day. The salad is nourishing, appetizing, high in calories, but does not leave a feeling of heaviness, partly thanks to the dressing, which does not include mayonnaise. Although, if you prefer it, please, you can dress the salad with it! With appropriate decoration, this dish can be prepared on a holiday, or it can be made on a weekday to feed and please your family. The salad does not take long to prepare; I indicated the total cooking time taking into account the time spent cooking the beef heart and other ingredients. The salad has a pleasant taste, the ingredients combine wonderfully in it. My family liked it, try it too!

I prepared a salad of beef heart with pickles and onions. To make the heart soft, you need to cook it for a long time, so I did it the day before. I also boiled carrots and eggs in advance. I fried chopped walnuts in a dry frying pan, finely chopped the onion, added a little salt and fried with vegetable oil. I chopped all the ingredients (grated carrots and eggs, cut the heart and pickled cucumbers into thin strips) and laid them out on a plate in layers, coating them with sour cream dressing. The salad turned out delicious! The ingredients go together very well. The addition of roasted walnuts turned out to be very appropriate here, it makes the taste of the salad brighter and richer. I'm happy to add the recipe to my treasure chest. Thanks to the author!

Thanks for the praise and comment! This gas station has been helping me out a lot for several years now. This is especially true for the period when I fed my children breast milk (and that was a long time). I was very strict in choosing products during this important and wonderful time, which is what I advise other breastfeeding mothers! After all, you know that industrial mayonnaise is not the healthiest product...

Angel, to what Larisa advised, I can add that I got mayonnaise the second time, when I heard on a cooking program that oil needs to be added very slowly, literally a few drops at a time. And everything turned out great. And also, on our website there is a wonderful article “Homemade mayonnaise” in the culinary magazine for October. There are tips and links to recipes.

Good afternoon, does this salad need to be infused?
