French salad - 4 options for every taste

It’s a pleasure to prepare French salad, because the recipes for making it are always very laconic and ordinary. They contain a small amount of ingredients, and yet the result is very tasty and the main thing is that everything mixes harmoniously with each other. The uniqueness of French salad recipes is their versatility and speed of production. Here are some of them that you can simply prepare at home.

Salad "French Mistress"

This special salad is unusual not only for its name, but also for its ingredients and their combination. It contains several flavors intertwined at once: salty, sweet and spicy. But they are all in perfect harmony with each other and form a certain flavor tandem.

So, in order for you to be able to prepare the French Lover salad, you will need:

chicken fillet - 300 g;
hard Dutch cheese - 100 g;
raisins (preferably light) - 250 g;
raw carrots (1 large or 2 small);
walnuts (1 cup);
onion (2 heads);
oranges (2 pieces);
mayonnaise;
sugar and salt to taste.

The process of making a recipe consists of stacking the goods in layers.

Take chicken fillet and boil it. If you are a fan of smoked or fried meat, then these options are also suitable. We cut it finely.
At the same time, prepare the pickled onion, to do this, cut the onion into half rings and pour boiling water over it, you can also add lemon juice or a little vinegar and let it sit for 15 minutes so that all the bitterness goes away.
Chop the nuts well using a knife. Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater, and raw carrots on a small grater.
Pour boiling water over the raisins and let them sit and soften for a little while, then drain the water.
Peel the orange and cut each segment into small pieces.
After making all the components, we begin to lay out the “French Lover” salad. At the same time, grease any layer with mayonnaise. First chicken, then pickled onions, raisins, carrots, cheese, walnuts, which we chop, and a layer of orange on top.
Then we quickly put our salad in the refrigerator so that it can brew, and you can start eating it.

Before the final preparation of the French salad with apples, we take its main ingredient - apples, so that they do not darken. We peel them, remove the core with the seeds.
Let's start with the French salad with apples: we start laying them out in layers, and at the same time we coat each one well with sour cream (mayonnaise).

Video recipe: French salad

Step-by-step recipe with photos and videos

I occasionally prepare salads with mayonnaise, and even less often I make puff salads, but the French salad is an exception to the rule. Tender and indescribably juicy, this salad is delicious at any time of the year. The combination of new vegetables, apples, herbs, eggs and cheese turns out to be refreshing, nutritious and very light. This salad will decorate the table on weekdays and will add pleasant abundance to the festive menu.

You can find different versions of this salad online. The main ingredients are similar - fresh carrots, apples, eggs and cheese. The differences are in the little things - some add meat, while others add nuts and pineapples.

Any option is fascinating in its own way, but the closest thing to me is the most common vegetable version of a salad with the freshest herbs in the composition. This “French” salad turns out to be very light and rich in vitamins, and besides, all the ingredients for its preparation are almost always on hand.

Well, so that the salad does not get lost on the festive table, I would like to offer you an idea for its extraordinary design. An orange “carrot” made of puff pastry with a catchy “tops” of dill – in this “outfit”, the “French” salad with apple and carrots is sure to amaze guests not only with its taste, but also with its appearance! Shall we begin?!

French salad with apple and carrots

Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Boil the eggs.

Finely chop the onion. To soften its taste, add apple cider vinegar, stir and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Another option is to pour boiling water over the onions.

Prepare all salad ingredients. Grate the carrots and cheese, chop the greens.

Separate the egg yolks and whites and grate them as well. Lastly, before you start assembling the salad, grate the apples.

In order to prepare and serve the “French” salad in portions, use a ring form. If you, like me, do not have such a form, then you can create it from the funds at hand. You can glue a ring of cardboard and wrap it in foil or cling film, or the quickest option is to cut a piece of suitable height from a plastic bottle.

Place the mold on a plate and you can start assembling the salad.

The 1st and 2nd layers are the juiciest ones - onion and apple. I usually mix them. Acetic acid prevents the apples from darkening, and the taste is softer.

Add a layer of mayonnaise and a pinch of salt and pepper. I use homemade mayonnaise and add it in small quantities.

Place other layers in random order. I have this: dill, egg white, carrots, egg yolk, cheese.

Between layers, add a little mayonnaise, salt and ground black pepper.

The salad can be served immediately, but if you allow it to steep a little, it will become even tastier.

I cover the pan with cling film and place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Now I’ll tell you about another ordinary and beautiful method of designing and serving “French” salad - in the form of a “carrot”.

We will need:
3-4 potatoes
3 huge carrots
beet
0.5 fork white cabbage
1 large onion
500g meat (beef or pork)
vinegar
soy sauce
dark pepper
reddish pepper
salt

I don’t understand why, but in our family they call this salad French , there are no special circumstances to call it that, but the name stuck! Recently, we are moving away more and more from salads with mayonnaise

And this salad is a good candidate!

so, we will need it

1. Three or four potatoes

2. Three huge carrots

4. Half a fork of cabbage

5.One large onion

6. Meat (beef or pork) - 500 g

9.Dark and reddish pepper, salt

and we also need this Accessory, which greatly simplifies

So, we cut the meat into small pieces (usually we use beef, but this time we didn’t have beef on hand, so we used pork). Fry the meat in a frying pan until cooked

At the same time, we peel all our vegetables (not counting potatoes) and chop them into a bowl - this salad component does not undergo any heat treatment - everything is absolutely fresh

add fried meat on top

peel the potatoes, chop them and fry until golden brown

add potatoes to vegetables and meat

Now it’s time for seasonings. I have 5% vinegar and added 2 tablespoons

Add salt, pepper, soy sauce to your own taste. No need to add oil! , because the meat and potatoes are quite fatty. Mix everything thoroughly and check the taste again. if something is missing, add it

Our salad is ready.
