Valentine's Beef Heart Salad with Pickles and Onions

Prepare this delicious salad for your loved one on Valentineʼs Day. The salad is nourishing, appetizing, high in calories, but does not leave a feeling of heaviness, partly thanks to the dressing, which does not include mayonnaise. Although, if you prefer it, please, you can dress the salad with it! With appropriate decoration, this dish can be prepared on a holiday, or it can be made on a weekday to feed and please your family. The salad does not take long to prepare; I indicated the total cooking time taking into account the time spent cooking the beef heart and other ingredients. The salad has a pleasant taste, the ingredients combine wonderfully in it. My family liked it, try it too!
