Taberna 7’s Russian salad: a special touch
High-quality ingredients
At Taberna 7, we believe that a good Russian salad starts with selecting the very best ingredients. That’s why our recipe features potatoes cooked to perfection, tender carrots, top-quality tuna and fresh eggs. All this is mixed with a smooth, well-balanced homemade mayonnaise, which enhances the flavour without being heavy. The result is a creamy salad, full of subtle flavours and with an irresistible texture.
Handcrafted
We know that the secret to a good Russian salad lies in its freshness, which is why at Taberna 7 we prepare it fresh every day, ensuring that every portion has the best flavour and texture. No chilled or pre-made salads here; everything is prepared with care, so that every bite is a delight.
The special touch
If there’s one thing that sets our Russian salad apart, it’s the accompaniment. Instead of the usual slices of bread, at Taberna 7 we serve it with crispy regañás, which add a delicious contrast in texture and make every bite even more special. What’s more, we pay close attention to every detail of the presentation, so you can enjoy it as much with your eyes as with your taste buds.
