Oleksandr Hromliuk shared just such a recipe for a spicy, tasty and healthy dish, namely Moroccan salad with orange and pumpkin.

"In this salad, I added a touch of local seasonal products from Ukraine. I mixed oranges, pumpkin, and raisins, which may make the dish seem exotic, but it's quite normal for a traditional Moroccan dish," says Oleksandr.
