Light salad. Light salad - a nutritious salad made from easy-to-digest foods, seasoned with vegetable oil, yogurt, sauce or low-fat dressing.

Food has a direct impact on our well-being. If you want to feel lightness, energy, and cheerfulness, eat healthy, light food that saturates the body with useful substances, but does not exhaust you, leaving only one desire - to lie on the couch. Do you want to eat and feel comfortable and easy? Forget about heavy, multi-ingredient salads dressed with fatty mayonnaise. In fact, mayonnaise only spoils the salad, its benefits and positive effects on health. You will have to make do with healthier dressings - lemon juice, olive oil, high-quality soy sauce, yogurt, low-fat sour cream, etc.

Choose only healthy foods for your salad. Avoid sausages and smoked meats, which are often added to salads today. Only fresh seafood, vegetables, delicate low-fat cheeses, fruits. Don't overdo it with cheese and eggs. Remember that leftover food from the refrigerator is not considered healthy food. All products must be fresh. For the same reason, you don’t need to cook a lot - it’s always better to make and eat a fresh salad than to think that the day before yesterday will also help improve your health. This salad has no vitamins or freshness.

The way the food is processed is also important. If you are preparing a salad from fish, then you do not need to fry it - it is better to stew or boil it. The same goes for chicken if you decide to make a salad with fillet. Vegetables for light salads are taken fresh. Just wash and cut them. Therefore, light salads are quick salads. Healthy food can save time! It's a pity that fast food lovers don't know about this!

We should also talk about salt, which is a provocateur of heart disease, inhibits the removal of fluid from the body and increases appetite. Add salt in a minimal amount - only this salad is light and dietary.

You can enhance the taste of a light salad, which may seem a little bland, with the help of properly selected spices. Good options are cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and, of course, ground black pepper. Spices not only enrich the taste, but also burn fat. The feeling of lightness will increase every day! Many people blame spices for stimulating their appetite. If you feel hungry, just eat a couple of extra spoons of salad, because it has very few calories. Compared to any salad dressed with mayonnaise, a diet salad is a feather!

What is a salad? For many of us, this is the easiest dish that does not require much time to prepare, is always light and loved by everyone - our family and guests. An Italian proverb says that a salad should be prepared by at least four people. The first cook must be stingy - he seasons the salad with vinegar. The philosophical cook must add salt. The spendthrift cook must pour in the oil. And the artist chef must mix the salad... What other secrets of preparing delicious salads do you know?
  • Prepare and store salads in enamel, ceramic or glass containers. Storage should be as short as possible.
  • Peel and cut vegetables with stainless steel knives. Cut the peel as thin as possible - underneath it are the most valuable biologically active substances. Vegetables should be cut smaller, the denser their tissue.
  • If your salad requires cooked vegetables, cook them unpeeled in a little water or steam them. For carrots, the water should be salted, for beets - unsalted. It's better to bake beets.
  • Cool all foods before preparing the salad; under no circumstances combine warm foods with cold ones - this will quickly spoil the salad.
  • If the salad requires peeled tomatoes, place them in boiling water for a minute and then remove the skins.
  • Some vegetable salads can be grouped in salad bowls by color, for example: white and red cabbage, green beans with cauliflower, red bell peppers with green pods.
  • A good decoration for a salad is a mesh of mayonnaise or sour cream - for this purpose, use a cream syringe or a bag of parchment paper with the tip cut off (the hole diameter should not be more than 1.5 cm).
  • To remove excess bitterness, rinse chopped onions 2-3 times under running water, or pour boiling water over them twice, or soak for some time in a mixture of vinegar and water.
  • Before combining boiled beets with other vegetables, grease them with vegetable oil - then they will color the other components of the salad or vinaigrette less.
  • Peeled apples, pears, and celery quickly darken in air, so keep them, if you do not immediately put them in a salad, in salted or acidified water.
  • Add salt to the salad as late as possible, otherwise the vegetables will release a large amount of juice. Season the salad with mayonnaise, sour cream and vegetable oil at the very last moment before serving.
  • Mayonnaise can be made colored. When a small amount of ready-made mustard is added, it turns yellow; red table wine or beet juice - red; tomato puree - orange; sorrel and spinach puree - green.
Now that you know our secrets, all your salads will be even tastier and healthier, more beautiful and appetizing.

A dish. They can be prepared even from a minimal set of ingredients, even in the most difficult situations. Therefore, of course, recipes with photos of salads of different types and contents will be relevant in any situation.

It would seem that there is nothing difficult about preparing a delicious salad. I mixed the ingredients, seasoned everything with mayonnaise, and it turned out to be a great dish. In fact, chefs know that far more than just mayonnaise can be used as a dressing, and the ingredients can differ in taste even depending on how they are cut.

We present for you salads, recipes with photos, simple and tasty, and inexpensive, popular that can be safely and quickly and successfully implemented at home. Dishes differ not only in composition, but also depending on the sauce that is used in a particular dish. Let's say that only olive oil can serve as a sauce. But if you add lemon juice and balsamic vinegar to it, the taste will change. Moreover, we are talking not only about the taste of the sauce itself, but about the taste of the salad as a whole.

Salads and recipes with photos for the festive table are always considered separately. You always want to surprise yourself and your guests with new dishes for a holiday. Of course, there are signature salads that are always put on the table for the holidays. But this should not prevent you from discovering new culinary horizons for yourself and your guests.

    THANK YOU so much for the very useful information in the article. Everything is presented very clearly. It feels like a lot of work has been done to analyze the operation of the eBay store

    • Thank you and other regular readers of my blog. Without you, I would not be motivated enough to dedicate much time to maintaining this site. My brain is structured this way: I like to dig deep, systematize scattered data, try things that no one has done before or looked at from this angle. It’s a pity that our compatriots have no time for shopping on eBay because of the crisis in Russia. They buy from Aliexpress from China, since goods there are much cheaper (often at the expense of quality). But online auctions eBay, Amazon, ETSY will easily give the Chinese a head start in the range of branded items, vintage items, handmade items and various ethnic goods.

  • And I remembered your detailed articles about these trades. area
    I re-read everything again and concluded that the courses are a scam. I haven't bought anything on eBay yet. I am not from Russia, but from Kazakhstan (Almaty). But we also don’t need any extra expenses yet.
