Uncle bens - recipe for zucchini salad for the winter

I think everyone remembers that at one time a lot of products called Uncle Bens appeared on store shelves. Mainly there were salads and various sauces. They also produced quick-made rice and potatoes. But it was all so expensive that almost everyone couldn’t even buy them to try them out. Although the containers with the African-American uncle were very attractive.

Naturally, nowadays it is becoming more difficult to find all Uncle Bens products in Russia. Because almost all chefs have already learned how to prepare such sauces and salads themselves. Now we will tell you about one of them. In my opinion, this is the best recipe of all the dishes under this brand. And by making it at home, it becomes even tastier, because no preservatives or other chemicals are added for storage. For this we only need vinegar.

You and I have already prepared many different dishes from zucchini, preparing them in Korean style for the winter, not only with seasoning for Korean carrots, but also with hot peppers. They also made adjika, which comes out in such a way that you’ll lick your fingers. Well, of course, they were fried in a frying pan in batter and baked with minced meat in the oven. In general, if you like these vegetables, be sure to visit any of these articles and cook zucchini according to these recipes.

But still, let's return to the current salad method. It contains a lot of vegetables, which means it is very necessary. Another plus is that the dish is suitable for both a formal table and a home dinner. And what’s most exciting is that it goes well with any side dish, be it potatoes, rice or pasta.

How to make Uncle Bens salad from zucchini?

And preparing a salad is very simple: chop all the vegetables, cook them in tomato paste, salt and add vinegar. As you know, bell peppers mix well with zucchini, as well as onions, carrots and tomatoes. Which means, repeat after me, it will be very tasty.

Zucchini – 2 kg;
Tomato paste – 1 tbsp;
Water – 1 liter;
Vegetable oil – 1 tbsp.;
Sugar – 1 tbsp;
Salt – 1 tbsp. spoon (without slide)

Carrots – 4 pcs.;
Onion – 10 pcs. medium size;

Vinegar 70% – 1 tbsp. spoon.

These products yield about 4.5 liters. ready-made snack.

Before starting production, sterilize the jars using a method that is convenient for you: steamed, in the oven or in the microwave. Not so long ago I discovered another interesting option, using a dishwasher. Just set it to 90° and wash it. It is best to take them in a volume of 0.5 to 1 liter. It’s much more convenient, and the salad is eaten right away. Also soak the lids in hot water for at least 10 minutes. This whole procedure is done so that the snack can be quietly stored without fear that the lids will fly off.

Let's start with the zucchini, they need to be washed, cut in half and all the seeds removed.

Fundamentally! Regardless of whether you have an old one or a young one, it is better to remove the skin. Then the dish will turn out much more tender. Well, in the most mature vegetables it is very coarse, which is not better for our salad.

Wash the tomatoes and cut out the stem. It is better to take ripe tomatoes; if they have cracks, cut them out.

Peel the carrots and onions. Remove all seeds from peppers.

It is better to take peppers of different colors, then the appetizer will turn out much more attractive and brighter, and this will be better if it is placed on a ceremonial table.

Also, so as not to forget anything during the manufacturing process, we will prepare other products, which are shown in the photo below.

Next, cut the zucchini into small cubes, approximately 1 cm.

Grate the carrots on a large grater.

Cut the onion into half rings, the thinner the better. This way it will more quickly give its own smell to our preparation.

Divide the pepper into two halves and cut into strips.

And tomatoes as well as diced zucchini.

Pour water into a deep bowl and add tomato paste. Pour salt, sugar into it and pour in vegetable oil. Mix everything well.
