Spectacular salad "Tbilisi": prepared without mayonnaise

"Tbilisi" is a salad that is based on beef meat. That's why the dish is moderately fatty and at the same time remains satisfying. In addition, it has a very light and flavorful dressing based on oil and herbs.

The idea of preparing a spectacular Tbilisi salad was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Iryna Dimitrova (iriska_dimitrova).
