NON-STANDARD COMBINATIONS OF TASTES!

The world of salads is a vast field for experimentation. Classic time-tested recipes are perfectly complemented by new, bold combinations.

Think sweet notes of tangerine, juicy splashes of cranberries, spicy freshness of thyme and crunch of walnuts. All this is mixed in a dance of aromas, where the tenderness of citrus fruits intertwines with the piquancy of spices.

A non-standard combination of flavors that will surprise you with its harmony and brightness.

Story:

The birth of the Mandarin Waltz salad is a story about a chance meeting of tastes. In the restaurant kitchen, where the chef was looking for new flavor combinations, something unexpected happened.

Tangerines lay next to cranberries, and there was a smell of spicy thyme on the windowsill. The chef decided to experiment and combine these unusual ingredients.

The result exceeded all expectations! The Mandarin Waltz salad became a hit at the restaurant.
