Vegetable salad with cheese

Absolutely, vegetable salad can be prepared all year round, which is what we use. But with the advent of autumn, the assortment of new seasonal vegetables is constantly increasing, and ordinary salads can be prepared especially by combining different greenish vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers, various greens - there is always something to choose from. In the Mediterranean region, local cuisines show wonders of ingenuity in making very ordinary salads with the introduction of greenish endive leaves, lettuce, romaine lettuce, frisée and collard greens, while the wealth of new vegetables makes the salads rich in vitamins and with excellent taste.

The importance of certain types of food for healing certain diseases has long been assessed. What about diets (Diet is a set of rules for human consumption of food) ? Without vegetable salads it is torture without prospects. And with the discovery of vitamins more than 100 years ago, the importance of food for maintaining health has only increased. For example, for scurvy you need vitamin (a low-molecular organic compound of relatively simple structure, necessary for all living things) C - citrus fruits, spinach, kiwi fruits, rose hips, vegetables - reddish pepper, also black currants. My grandmother also said - eat a salad, it contains vitamins (a group of low-molecular organic compounds of relatively simple structure and varied chemical nature) and life itself.

Green vegetables, especially various salads, are record holders for vitamin content. And any vegetable salad will simply replace the pharmacy vitamin product. You need to eat green salads, they are healthy and always tasty, even if you don’t season them with mayonnaise - this phrase has caused disbelief in almost everyone. But greenish salads have been eaten since ancient times, and greenish leaves grow wild all over the world. And cultural feeding makes greenish lettuce leaves one of the main vegetables for salad.

For example, endive is a salad chicory that can be used to make a good vegetable salad. Beautiful and elastic leaves of romaine lettuce are the basis for the most famous appetizer in American cuisine - Caesar salad. Green cabbage mixes well with any vegetables. A very tasty salad made from Chinese cabbage with the addition of grilled chicken. Yes, any greenish lettuce that can be purchased must be purchased and used for salad.

Usually, vegetable salad is prepared just before serving, so that the vegetables do not release their juice. In addition, for the same reason, greenish salad leaves are not cut with a knife, but are torn into pieces with your fingers. Salt and salad dressing are added specifically during lunch. Judging by myself, often just one vegetable salad and a slice of the freshest bread is enough for dinner.

Ingredients for vegetable salad

• Green lettuce (lettuce, romaine, endive, frisee) 1 bunch
• Cherry tomatoes 15-20 pcs
• Cucumber 1-2 pcs
• Parsley 5-6 sprigs
• Greenish basil 2-3 sprigs
• Salad onion 1 piece
• Parmesan, grana padano 2 tbsp. l.
• Olive oil 2-3 tbsp. l.
• Salt, lemon or wine vinegar, oregano to taste
• Garlic, hot pepper optional

How to prepare vegetable salad

1. Any vegetable salad made from green leaves and new vegetables is prepared very quickly - in less than 15 minutes. If possible, greenish leaves should be placed in cool water in advance so that they become elastic. Then they need to be dried from water, otherwise the salad of new vegetables will “float”. In addition, it is worth considering that almost all types of green lettuce taste slightly bitter. Endive, chicory, is a relative of dandelion. Arugula - contains mustard oil. But an autumn vegetable salad, even from slightly bitter leaves, is an amazing source of vitamins and can decorate even a unique table. And the special bitter taste stimulates the appetite.
