Another secret to making vegetables salad with meat and mushrooms is salt. Never salt the ingredients separately during the cooking process, only all together after the prepared products are gathered in the salad bowl. First, if salted separately, the rate of salt increases greatly, and this is harmful. Secondly, some products, for example, fresh cucumbers and greens, after contact with salt, begin to release moisture. This will lead to the fact that in a bowl with a salad a lake of cucumber juice is formed.
