HOW TO COOK SALADS

The popularity of salads is great for the simple reason that they occupy a leading place in healing and dietary nutrition, and their uses are quite diverse: salads can be either the main dish of the diet, or an appetizer or side dish. They can be served in salad bowls, vases, placed on bread.

For salads, raw, cold or hot processed vegetables and fruits, salted or pickled, with or without the addition of other ingredients, as well as flavor-enhancing or flavoring dressings and spices, are used.

This section provides tips for preparing salads.

HOW TO COOK VEGETABLE SALADS

You can limit yourself to sweet, flour, and fatty foods, but not vegetables. Vegetable salads are recommended to be eaten all year round and preferably every day. The more greens we eat, the better we feel. Vegetable salads not only stimulate the appetite, but also enrich the diet with valuable mineral salts, vitamins and other substances necessary for humans. It is important to teach children to eat salads; they especially need vitamins.

Salads are good both as an appetizer and as a side dish; they can be served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The aroma of green vegetables is given by the essential oils they contain. They stimulate appetite, promote good digestion, and therefore increase the digestibility of food. And the fiber that leafy greens are rich in stimulates intestinal motility.

The following vegetables are especially suitable for salad: cabbage, green lettuce, celery, cucumbers, radishes, onions, tomatoes, watercress, parsley, etc. Cabbage contains 10 times more calcium than green salad, and is better absorbed by most people.

Helpful Tips:

Beets and potatoes need to be boiled whole, cooled and peeled.

Boil carrots, turnips, rutabaga peeled whole or simmer chopped with the addition of vegetable oil.

Tomatoes used for salads must be ripe and firm. If the tomatoes need to be peeled, place them in boiling water for a minute. For tomatoes intended for stuffing, cut off the top and then remove the seeds along with the juice.

Carrots, turnips, rutabaga, used raw in salads, are peeled, washed and cut into strips.

Salad celery, parsley, and dill are peeled and stored wrapped in damp gauze in a dark, cool place so that their color does not change.

Potatoes for salad should be boiled unpeeled and peeled after they have cooled.

To prevent potatoes from boiling in their skins when boiling, you need to salt them (0.5 teaspoon of salt per 1 kg of potatoes).

Potatoes will turn out tasty if you add a little garlic to the water in which they are boiled.

Potatoes should be cooked over moderate heat so that the starch swells evenly. When the heat is high, the outside of the potato bursts but the inside remains raw.

Potatoes won't burst in the oven if you prick each potato with a fork.

Once cooled, the potatoes should be peeled and cut into slices or cubes in accordance with the cutting form of other products.

Canned vegetables (peas, beans, carrots, beets, tomatoes) should be placed on a sieve or colander to drain before using for salad.

Peel and rinse onions and green onions. Cut the onions into slices, which are then disassembled into rings. To remove excess bitterness, chopped onions can be poured with table vinegar. It is recommended to chop green onions finely for salads, and for garnishing dishes - 3-4 cm long.

Cucumbers need to be washed, peeled and cut into slices, strips or cubes. Fresh cucumbers from greenhouses and greenhouses are usually not peeled.

For cabbage, first of all, you need to remove the contaminated leaves, then wash the head of cabbage well, cut it into two or four parts, cut out the stalk and place it in cold salted water for a while (at the rate of 50-60 g of salt per 1 liter of water). After this, rinse and chop the chopped parts of the head of cabbage again.

Sort the sauerkraut and squeeze out the brine. If the cabbage is very sour, it should be washed in cold water.

Celery prepared for salad must be sorted and freed from diseased leaves. Cut off the roots, clean the dark parts of the stems with a knife, rinse well in clean water, after soaking in cold water for 1-2 hours.

Separate the parsley and dill from the stems and rinse thoroughly. Branches of greenery are used to decorate salads, and the stems are used for cooking broths and sauces.

Rarely without salad costs no table. It is believed that vegetables seasoned with vegetable oil (mayonnaise, sour cream) are much healthier than just chopped fresh vegetables and that they are digested much better, and we won’t even argue that a salad is much tastier than just vegetables. In addition, salad can be prepared not only from vegetables. Fruit salads are a separate topic altogether. And the use of fruits in vegetable salads is absolutely nothing new. In general, there are different types of salads. What an opportunity for creativity! After all, even a salad made from the same ingredients, but seasoned with different sauces, radically changes its taste. Traditionally, each season has certain types of salads, depending on the availability of ingredients.

The salad is prepared immediately before consumption.

If you need to take a salad with you (for example, when you are going on a picnic or on a trip), try to cut the ingredients larger, do not add dressing or salt - you will do all this upon arrival, before sitting down at the table.

Today – three of the simplest salads of the spring-autumn season.

BON APPETIT!

Potato salad with green peas like in kindergarten. Technological map No. 23:

Technology for preparing potato salad with green peas as in kindergarten:

If we talk about the amount of ingredients “by eye”, then this is approximately 2 medium potatoes, 1 carrot, from three to six tablespoons of canned peas, a third of a long cucumber, a large bunch of green onions and a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.

According to the technology for preparing potato salad with green peas as in kindergarten, salt is not included in the recipe. But without it, in my opinion, the taste is greatly simplified. I don't think a pinch of salt will hurt anyone, so you can add it if you wish.

Rinse the potatoes and carrots under running water and boil until tender, about 25-30 minutes. If the fork fits freely into the vegetable, it is ready.

Drain the water, let the vegetables cool and remove the skin. Thinly cut the skin off the cucumber.

Prepare the ingredients for the salad. Cut the cucumber, potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Finely chop the green onions too.

Combine all the vegetables in a bowl: cucumber, potatoes, carrots, a little salt if you decide to add it, canned peas and vegetable oil.

According to the technology, canned peas need to be heated, cooled and then added to the salad. I omitted this point. If you want to strictly follow the technology, then simply pour hot boiled water over the peas for 30 seconds, then drain it and let the peas cool.
