Summer is the season of fresh vegetables and herbs, so you definitely need to use this period with maximum benefit for the body. Summer vegetables are a source of vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the human body.

How to cook delicious summer salad?

1. Choose the right ingredients

It's no secret that the taste of the finished dish directly depends on the quality and taste characteristics of each individual ingredient. Therefore, it is important to carefully select the ingredients for a summer vegetable salad and carefully ensure that they are sufficiently ripe, but not spoiled.

1. Add greens

There is a large list of tasty and healthy greens that will add piquancy to your dish and make the taste of the salad richer. Green onions, parsley and dill go best with vegetables. In addition to them, you can add cilantro, arugula, celery, mint or spinach to the dish. Such a variety of greens allows everyone to choose their favorite ingredient.

1. Prepare a delicious dressing

The taste characteristics of the finished dish largely depend on the dressing for summer salads. To quickly dress simple and tasty summer salads, sour cream is often used. For a richer taste, you can add a little garlic to it.

It is advisable to prepare summer salad recipes without mayonnaise, as they will be even healthier without this ingredient. You can also season the dish with soy sauce or balsamic vinegar. In addition, you can experiment and try to create your own unique dressing recipe by simply mixing different ingredients. For example, it turns out delicious if you combine lemon juice, French mustard and olive oil in one dish.

1. Add cheese, meat or seafood

Recipes for summer salads made from simple ingredients do not have to be limited to vegetables and herbs. For a richer flavor, you can customize them with your favorite type of cheese. For example, grated Parmesan or even regular hard parmesan would be appropriate. In addition, feta and cheese go well with vegetables.

As for meat, summer salads with chicken are the most popular, as they are tasty and filling. And if you want to please your loved one with a romantic dinner and prepare a more original and unusual dish, look for step-by-step recipes for summer salads with seafood.

1. Serve the prepared salad immediately

• Mayonnaise in salads can be replaced with the following dressing: add the mashed yolk of one boiled egg and a teaspoon of mild mustard, salt and spices to taste to the sour cream.
• Frozen tomatoes and lettuce peppers intended for salads should not be thawed in plastic packaging; they should be transferred to enamel or earthenware dishes to preserve the released juice.
• If you need to boil vegetables for a salad, then boil them in salted water. The exceptions are beets and carrots. It is better to undercook vegetables for salads a little rather than overcook them.
• To clean boiled vegetables better, rinse them with cold water after cooking.
• It is better to buy carrots for salads with a short root vegetable (Carotel variety). It is more juicy and aromatic. It is from these carrots that delicious carrot juice is obtained, as well as delicious salads and side dishes.
• To ensure that tomatoes lose less juice when cutting, cut the tomatoes with a sharp knife. A bread knife or the sharpest ceramic knives are ideal for this purpose.
• To prevent onions from becoming bitter, they are first cut into noodles and then soaked in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
• To completely get rid of bitterness, pour boiling water over chopped onions for 10 minutes.
• We wash any greens (spinach, all kinds of salads, parsley, sorrel, dill and parsley...) in plenty of water so that the greens float. Place the washed greens in a colander to drain all the water.
• Since wet green onions spoil very quickly, they should be stored unwashed.
• An ordinary radish salad turns into a special dish with a subtle piquant taste if you add a handful of crushed walnuts to it.

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes cut into large slices (it is better to take homemade ones) with bell pepper rings and shallots. Squeeze the juice from the lemon, combine with olive oil and season the salad with this dressing.

Add olives cut in half, cubed cheese and lettuce leaves torn into small pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste, stir and you're done! It’s better to eat the salad right away :)

After Greek, Niçoise is my favorite vegetable salad!

Combine herbs with lemon juice, crushed garlic and sugar, add olive oil and leave for at least half an hour. Pour the prepared salad with spicy dressing. Bon appetit!
