There are many types of salads or salat’i as they are called in Georgia. One of their most famous is called Lobio and made with kidney beans but for our purpose we will make just a simple typical Georgian salad as part of our supra.  The salad can made with whatever fresh ingredients you have, if you have some Imeretian cheese you can add that.  I decided to make the walnut dressing but you can do a simple oil and vinegar dressing as well.  Adding in a bit of cayenne would also be common, the Georgians like a little kick in their food. Enjoy!
