Spring salad offers many options. Of course, we cook them with vegetables - with cabbage, carrots, beets, cucumbers or bell peppers. We just need such salads on spring days after the harsh, Russian winter. Live vitamins from vegetables and fresh herbs are absorbed by the body much better than pharmacy multivitamins. Some salads are prepared without mayonnaise, but add at least mayonnaise or sour cream if desired. Choose for yourself whichever is more to your taste from this list and cook with pleasure!

Spring Day Chicken Salad - Step by Step Recipe

How to cook:

1. My potatoes and carrots. Boil until medium soft. The main thing is not to boil over. When the water is boiled, drain it and let it cool.
   
2. I also put chicken meat to cook. I cook for half an hour after boiling. When it's cooked, I take the meat out of the broth onto a plate to cool. Hard-boiled eggs. 10 - 12 minutes
3. The potatoes and carrots are cold. Peel and grate potatoes, carrots and eggs on a medium grater. Not all together, of course, but on different plates.
   
4. I also cut the cooled chicken meat into small pieces.
   
5. I chop the onion very finely and pour boiling water for a couple of minutes to remove the pungent smell and bitterness.
   
6. I also cut the mushrooms smaller. If you have fresh mushrooms, fry them, chopped in a pan with butter for about 10 minutes.
7. Collect the salad in layers on a flat plate. I put a layer of grated potatoes on the leaves of green lettuce. Lightly add some salt and coat with mayonnaise. The second layer is mushrooms and mayonnaise again.
   
8. Then a layer of grated carrots, salt, mayonnaise. Next is the chicken fillet. And again I add some salt and coat with mayonnaise.
   
9. Next, the onion and the topmost layer are grated eggs. Here I just add some salt to the eggs. Mayonnaise is no longer needed. I decorate the salad with herbs and put it in the refrigerator for two hours.
   

Serve the salad when it's soaked in mayonnaise. Yummy indescribable!

Cooking spring salads has its own subtleties. For example, it is better to tear greens for a salad with your hands - this way vitamins are better preserved in it. Spring salads are prepared from fresh vegetables and herbs, and in order for them not to give a lot of juice, they need to be salted and seasoned immediately before serving. To prevent the food from falling out of the bowl while stirring and not losing its shape, use special spoons or stir the salad with long forks.

Spring salads are divided into several conventional types. Mixed salads are prepared by mixing all the ingredients and dressing with a special sauce made from vegetable oil, sour cream (less often mayonnaise). The prepared salad is put into a chilled salad bowl, poured over with the rest of the sauce and decorated to taste. Salads filled with sauce or dressing are served in a slightly different way: the products are laid out in portioned salad bowls in layers or mixed and filled with sauce. Such spring salads are usually prepared from very tender products that easily lose their shape. Recently, this method of serving salads has been increasingly used: products and several types of sauces and fillings are laid out on separate plates - each eater chooses for himself products and dressings to taste.

In principle, a salad can be made from anything, and if you have several types of fresh vegetables and herbs at your disposal, it will not be difficult to mix a delicious and healthy salad. The main thing is to remember about the compatibility of products. Cucumbers, for example, go well with eggs, fresh herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, boiled potatoes, radishes, sweet and hot peppers, apples, garlic, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, and croutons made from white or rye bread. Tomatoes look great with fresh herbs, onions and green onions, all types of green salad, olives and olives, fresh and baked bell peppers, hot peppers, pasta, rice, barley, cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream. White cabbage can be mixed with fresh carrots and beets, fresh cucumbers and radishes, onions and green onions, sweet and hot peppers, fresh herbs, root celery, grapes, and citrus fruits. And these are just the main combinations, so to speak, classics, but if you include imagination?

The same can be said for dressings for fresh spring salads. Spring salads can be seasoned with high-quality unrefined vegetable oils in their pure, so to speak, form - olive, corn, sunflower, linseed, cedar, amaranth, sesame, etc. And you can add a variety of ingredients to them, which will allow your salad to sparkle with new flavors. Here are some examples of salad dressings:

Lemon juice, black pepper, salt.
... Vegetable oil, vinegar (wine, fruit or balsamic), black pepper, salt.
... Vegetable oil, lemon juice, mustard (both regular and whole grain), black pepper, salt.
... Vegetable oil, crushed garlic, black pepper, salt.
... Mayonnaise or sour cream, crushed garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice.
... Sour cream or mayonnaise, mashed tomatoes and garlic.

In the spring, it's time to pay attention to vitamins that grow literally under our feet. It's about wild-growing edible herbs. From the first warm days, young green sprouts filled with live vitamins stretch out of the ground. And that's all we need! And no costs, except perhaps for a trip to clean places. It is necessary to collect wild herbs far from the city limits, away from roadways and railways, and preferably away from the "benefits" of civilization altogether. Suitable for food are nettles, dandelions, plantains, burdock, wild sorrel (by the way, it is much tastier than "homemade"), mint, lemon balm, blackened, woodlice (yes, that weed!) And many other herbs. Collect young leaves, they are softer and tastier.

Some herbs can be dried and used as a flavorful and healthy seasoning for soups and sauces. A very interesting green dressing is obtained from nettle, dried sorrel will add sourness to your sauces, and mint or lemon balm will add aroma in compote or tea. Dried herbs should be crushed and stored in tightly sealed jars.

But back to our spring salads. The Culinary Eden website offers you several recipes for spring salads with both garden and wild plants. You can modify any recipe or even come up with something of your own, branded, different from others, most importantly, remember that in a good salad the amount of ingredients should not exceed 4-5 - this is the best way to reveal the taste of products and dressings.
