Necessary products

Selection of ingredients

Of course, all salad greens, unless you grow them yourself, it is better to buy in the market. Choose only the freshest greens. When choosing arugula, pay attention to the leaves, the taste of this plant depends on the size of the leaf.

The smaller the leaf, the more bitterness it contains. So be guided by your taste. Spinach, which can be safely attributed to the royal estate of vegetables for its taste and health benefits, should be chosen with special attention. It is worth asking where he was brought from, in which farm he was raised. Spinach has the ability to absorb all the pollution of the environment in which it grew up.

Fresh spinach leaves should be fresh, supple, crunchy (squeeze the leaf with your fingers to check), juicy, rich, green. Fresh, they should have a pleasant, appetizing aroma. The amount of greens in the salad can be adjusted to your liking.

If you really like cilantro, you can add more, if not, replace with more parsley. The same goes for all other ingredients.

Cooking sequence

1. In a small saucepan, place boil 4 eggs (it takes 7 minutes).





2. Now take the spinach and remove the chord (legs, stems) with your hands, it tastes unpleasant, tough and fibrous. Roll the leaves into a roll and cut into the desired lengths. Place in a salad bowl.


3. Now let's prepare the salad dressing. Take a separate bowl and combine all the dressing ingredients. First, pour in the olive oil, add honey, lemon juice, French mustard, pepper and stir.
   
4. Season the salad to your liking and top with the dressing. Mix the salad well (I do this with two forks), and you can serve this miracle to the table.
