• canned corn,

Salads are simple and tasty - easy. It is enough to glance in the refrigerator or rummage through the kitchen shelves, and there are sure to find ingredients from which you can prepare simple and tasty salads, which at any time will decorate your table.

However, to make salads simple and tasty, there are a few rules. Vegetables for salads are cut in approximately the same pieces: large (slices, slices) or finely (cubes, straws). If you mix large segments of tomatoes with cucumbers, cut into small cubes, then the taste of tomatoes will prevail in the salad, and the cucumbers will simply “get lost”. In addition, salads in the same cut look more neat, natural and appetizing.

Greens are added to the salad last, and it needs to be chopped finely. Or, conversely, tear the leaves with your hands, this primarily applies to leafy salads. As for dressing, in fact, the rules require only mix vegetables, do not salt and do not pour oil on them. And when serving, put vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, pepper or specially prepared dressings or sauces on the table so that everyone can season their portion of salad as they like.

Light salad. Light salad - a nutritious light salad for the assimilation of foods, seasoned with vegetable oil, yogurt, sauce or low-fat dressing.

Food directly affects our well-being. If you want to feel lightness, energy, vitality - 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. Want to eat and feel comfortable and easy? Forget about heavy, multi-component salads seasoned with fatty mayonnaise. In fact, mayonnaise only spoils the salad, its benefits and positive effects on health. You have to manage with healthier dressings - lemon juice, olive oil, high-quality soy sauce, yogurt, low-fat sour cream, etc.

Choose only healthy foods for your salad. Refuse sausages and smoked meats, which today are often put in salads. Only fresh seafood, vegetables, tender low-fat cheeses, fruits. Do not overdo it with cheese and eggs. Remember that food leftovers from the refrigerator are not healthy foods. All products must be fresh. For the same reason, you don’t have to cook much - it’s always better to make and eat a fresh salad than to think that the day before yesterday will also help to improve your health. There are no vitamins or freshness in such a salad.

Also important is the way the products are processed. If you are preparing a salad of fish, then you do not need to fry it - it is better to stew or cook. The same applies to chicken, if you decide to make a salad with fillet. Vegetables for light salads are taken fresh. It is enough to wash and cut them. Therefore, light salads - quick salads. Eating healthy can save you time! It is a pity that fast food lovers do not know about this!

Separately, we should talk about salt, which is a provocateur of heart disease, inhibits the withdrawal of fluid from the body and increases appetite. Add salt in a minimal amount - only such a salad is light and dietary.

Enhancing the taste of a light salad, which may seem a little fresh, you can use the right spices. Good options are cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and, of course, black pepper. After all, spices not only enrich the taste, but also burn fats. The feeling of lightness will increase every day! Many blame on spices that they stimulate 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, diet salad is a feather!
