Options for making budget salads

Try to change the most familiar recipes for cheap New Year's salads, because who, if not you, is well versed in the tastes of households and friends ?!

Vinaigrette in a new way

For example, otherwise prepare a vinaigrette.

Add sauerkraut instead of cucumbers, and do not boil the beets themselves, but simmer - with carrots, cauliflower cubes and a small amount of finely chopped onion.

Celery cubes can also go there (half the size of beets and carrots). You don't want to add potatoes to such a vinaigrette, but boiled beans or sunflower seeds will come in handy in it. As a result - a new taste, a mystery of ingredients and no grandiose spending!

Inexpensive Crab Stick Salad

Look for fresh crab stick options. To do this, focus on them, removing other "heavy" components from the recipes - potatoes, eggs and meat.

One of the juiciest and cheapest options for New Year's crab salad:

• finely grated white cabbage,
• apple and orange, chopped into thin strips,
• canned corn,
• crab sticks, not very finely chopped.

Dressing \u003d mayonnaise + be sure to pepper. You will need a Burner grater.

Simple and cheap sauerkraut salads

Everyone's favorite sauerkraut comes to the rescue. It can be easily brought up to a festive level with an apple (thin straw), some corn, and some coarse nuts.

At the same time, fill with fragrant vegetable oil. An excellent combination of flavors will also turn out if raisins, prunes, dried apricots are added to the cabbage. Note, expensive ingredients - in small quantities!

And if you recall the recipes of our grandmothers, then the 3 cheapest components (sauerkraut, boiled potatoes and onions) are an excellent base for a delicious winter salad, which will not shame the New Year's table if it is offered to a hearty hot meat - akin to baked chops or chicken legs.

This is another approach to choosing inexpensive salads for the new year: saving on the accompaniment to good and often expensive meat, we do not lose the general mood of the meal - how generous and rich!

Salads are simple and tasty - easy. It is enough to look in the refrigerator or rummage through the kitchen shelves, and there are sure to be found ingredients from which you can prepare simple and delicious salads that will become a decoration of your table at any time.

However, there are several rules to make salads simple and tasty. Vegetables for salads are cut in approximately the same pieces: coarsely (slices, circles) or finely (cubes, straws). If you mix large slices 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 you need to chop it finely. Or, conversely, tear the leaves with your hands, this primarily applies to leafy salads. As for the dressing, in general, the rules prescribe only mixing vegetables, not salt or oil 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 the salad the way they like.

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

Food directly affects our well-being. If you want to feel lightness, energy, vigor - eat healthy, non-heavy food that saturates the body with useful substances, but does not knock it out, leaving only one desire - to lie on the couch. Want to eat and feel comfortable and light? Forget heavy, multi-ingredient salads seasoned with fatty mayonnaise. In fact, mayonnaise only spoils the salad, its benefits and health benefits. You will have to make do with healthier dressings - lemon juice, olive oil, quality soy sauce, yogurt, low-fat sour cream, etc.

Choose only healthy foods for your salad. Give up sausages and smoked meats, which are often put in 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 have 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. There are no vitamins or freshness in such a salad.

The way the food is processed is also important. If you are preparing fish salad, 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 fillet salad. Vegetables for light salads are taken fresh. It is enough to wash and cut them. Therefore, light salads are quick salads. Healthy food can save time! It's a shame that fast food lovers don't 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.

To enhance the taste of a light salad, which may seem a little bland, you can use the right spices. Cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and, of course, ground black pepper are good options. After all, spices not only enrich the taste, but also burn fat. The feeling of lightness will increase every day! Many people blame the spices for whetting the appetite. If you feel hungry, just eat a couple of extra spoons of salad, because it is very low in calories. Compared to any salad dressed with mayonnaise, diet salad is a feather!
