Today, March 8th, many people are celebrating International Women’s Day across the globe. Of course, each country have their own means of celebration, special traditions and demonstrations, gifts and food. In my home-country (Russia) this day even is a public holiday. It is also another good day/reason to call your mother, sister or a friend and say how much they mean to you, or celebrate a woman who has always inspired you. And why not to rise a glass for yourself? 😉
This elegant salad can be served as a tasty fare for the Women’s Day. You need only few minutes literally to assemble and serve the salad. Salty dry-cured meat and tender persimmon slices go perfect together here. Impress your guests or and simply enjoy it yourself.

Few shavings of parmesan or grana padano cheese make the salad only better.

Happy Women’s Day!
Have a fantastic Women’s Day too! 🙂
Yay!!! Happy Women’s Day!!!
Oh, I can imagine how crazy and festive it gets back home at the moment, but here (in UK) majority of people never even heard about it.. On the days like these, it can be a bit nostalgic..
Happy 8th March to you too! Honestly speaking, the same here (uae)-it’s not feel as a festival. So, for me its also more a nostalgic day now and a good reason to get flowers😄
I love the pictures. Very exquisite looking.
Thanks a lot! 🙂 Have you celebrated Women’s Day?
