Salad with herbs and tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use different types of lettuce in this salad?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different lettuce varieties like romaine, butter lettuce, or even spinach for a slightly different flavor and texture profile. A mix of greens works great too!

What other herbs can I add to this salad?

Fresh herbs are key! Basil, parsley, chives, or even a little dill would be delicious additions. Consider the flavor profile you're aiming for – basil pairs wonderfully with tomatoes, while dill adds a fresh, slightly tangy note.

I don't have lemon juice; can I substitute it with something else?

Yes, lime juice makes a great substitute for lemon juice in the dressing. You can also use a little extra vinegar if you don't have lime juice on hand, but start with a smaller amount and taste as you go.

How long will this salad last in the refrigerator?

This salad is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but keep for up to 24 hours. The lettuce may wilt slightly, but it will still be tasty. Add the dressing just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Can I add cheese to this salad for extra flavor?

Definitely! Crumbled feta or goat cheese would add a tangy and creamy element that complements the fresh herbs and tomatoes beautifully. Mozzarella balls would also be a good option.

Is this salad vegetarian and how can I make it vegan?

Yes, this salad is naturally vegetarian! To make it vegan, ensure your vinegar is vegan-friendly (some may contain honey).

Can I add more vegetables?

You sure can! Cucumber, bell peppers, or red onion would make great additions.

Can I add protein to this salad to make it a more substantial meal?

Yes, grilled chicken, chickpeas, white beans, or tofu would all be excellent additions to boost the protein content of this salad.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
