In this course you will learn all the fundamentals about condiments and salads. Condiments allow diners to make a dish their own by adding a little bit of piquancy, sweetness or sourness. Why a course on Condiments and Salads together? Simply because they are intimately connected, as numerous salad dressings are made from condiments.
