Salad "Tbilisi" - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat instead of beef in Salad 'Tbilisi'?

Yes, you can substitute beef with chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a different flavor or dietary preference. Just ensure the protein is cooked and cut into similarly sized pieces.

What can I use instead of bell peppers if I don't have any?

You can substitute bell peppers with cucumbers, carrots, or even zucchini for a different texture and taste while maintaining a crunchy element.

How long can I store Salad 'Tbilisi' in the fridge?

The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The flavors may intensify as it sits, but the texture of the herbs and vegetables may soften.

Can I make this salad vegetarian or vegan?

Yes, omit the beef and add more beans or chickpeas for protein. Ensure the dressing uses vegan-friendly ingredients, like olive oil and lemon juice, which are already suitable.

Is there a low-carb version of this salad?

For a low-carb option, reduce or omit the beans and increase the proportion of low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and leafy greens.

Can I use canned beans instead of cooking them from scratch?

Yes, canned beans are a convenient alternative. Just rinse and drain them thoroughly to remove excess sodium and preserve the salad's fresh taste.
