10 easiest vegetable salads

Original salads without meat, potatoes, nuts and oil, which are prepared simply and quickly, from those products that are always at hand. Only the lightest weight loss salads!

If you are on a low-salt diet, you can use natural salt substitutes in the recipes below. Wakame seaweed is best suited for this. You can either grind them lightly in a coffee grinder or crush them with a pusher in a cup or jar. Powder of kelp and ficus is also used for these purposes, but it is less "salty" and, perhaps, has too specific taste.

Change recipes for yourself, experiment with vegetables and seasonings. The main thing to remember is that vegetables with a low calorie content have a larger volume than traditional food, therefore, in order to fill up, you need to make much larger portions of salads than is customary in canteens and cafes.

RODKA IN KOREAN

Ingredients:

Rarely raw.

Seasonings:

Ground coriander, paprika, red pepper, black pepper, basil, garlic, fresh herbs. Salt or salt substitute if desired.

Preparation:

We clean the radish and three of it on a shredder for Korean carrots. If there is none, use a regular coarse grater.

Next, in a small amount of water, mix the Korean-style carrot seasonings. Put just a little bit of garlic and pepper, since the radish itself is quite tart. Add spices, mix and serve.

It is not recommended to use a ready-made seasoning mixture for this salad, as it usually contains a flavor enhancer, which is confusing and makes you think that you want to eat more than you actually are.

JUICY CABBAGE

Ingredients:

Cabbage, radish.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice, black pepper, red pepper. Salt or salt substitute if desired.

Preparation:

Finely chop a piece of cabbage, pour with lemon juice, mash. Grind a small radish on a fine grater, thanks to which the salad should turn out to be juicy and satisfying. Add it to the cabbage, add the seasonings and stir well. The dish is ready.

SPICY SALAD WITH BOILED AND RAW CARROT

Ingredients:

Boiled carrots, raw carrots, raw radishes.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice, red pepper, black pepper, turmeric, fresh herbs. You can also add finely chopped onions, ground ginger, ground cardamom. Salt or salt substitute if desired.

Preparation:

Boiled carrots make the salad quite filling, so it can replace lunch or dinner during the diet.

The ratio of raw to boiled should be approximately 50/50. This means that if you boil 3 carrots, you will need 1-2 more raw carrots and one radish.

Peel the vegetables. Cut the boiled carrots into semicircles (if the carrots are large, then even smaller), raw carrots and radishes - into small cubes. Mix, add seasonings. Add finely chopped onions if desired. Be careful with turmeric, as it gives bitterness in excess.

The dish can be eaten cold, or you can add a little water and heat it up. A hot spicy salad is especially good when you want something substantial.

WINE SALAD

Ingredients:

Raw cabbage, carrots, beets, onions.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice, red pepper, black pepper, suneli hops. Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, arugula, etc.). Salt or salt substitute if desired.

Preparation:

We take in equal parts cabbage, carrots and beets. Finely chop the cabbage, pour with lemon juice and mash.

Grind the beets and carrots on a grater for Korean carrots or on a simple coarse grater. Finely chop the onion and greens. We mix all the ingredients, add the seasonings, mix again. For juiciness, add a few tablespoons of water.

CARROT Slices

Ingredients:

Raw carrots, onions.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice, red pepper, ground cumin. Salt or salt substitute if desired.

Preparation:

This simple salad is good when you have very little time to cook, but you want to chew on something spicy.

Chop the peeled carrots into slices or semicircles, finely chop the onion. Add seasonings, mix everything.

CABBAGE SALAD WITHOUT SALT

Ingredients:

Raw cabbage, wakame seaweed.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice.

Preparation:

First, we cook the cabbage. Chop finely and place in a deep bowl. Add lemon juice, mix, crush with a crush.

Then take wakame - 2-4 heaped teaspoons per serving. Pour into a bowl or jar and crush with a crush. To make it tastier, cabbage can be marinated for several hours. We add wakame at the very end - before serving, this will give the dish a salty taste. For juiciness, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the salad.

SALAD FROM TOMATOES AND REDITS

Ingredients:

Fresh tomatoes, green radish.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice, dill, pepper. Salt or salt substitute if desired.

Preparation:

Green radish, although it has a tart taste, in this salad resembles a cucumber. However, since it is a root vegetable, this substitution makes the dish more satisfying.

Peel the radish and cut it into small slices (of the same size as you usually cut a cucumber), tomatoes also into slices or pieces. We put everything in one bowl, add seasonings and mix.

GREEN SALAD

Ingredients:

Spinach or lettuce, sorrel, green onions, dill.

Seasonings:

Lemon juice, pepper. Salt or salt substitute if desired. You can also add paprika.

Preparation:

Despite the fact that this salad seems quite light, it is very nutritious for the body, as greens contain a lot of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. This fact is often overlooked, but you can make up for the lack of protein in a fruit and vegetable diet by adding a lot of greens to your meals, making green smoothies or this salad.

So let's get started. Take a bunch of lettuce or spinach, a bunch of sorrel, half or a whole bunch of green onions, half or a quarter of a bunch of dill. We wash it, fill it with water, add a spoonful of salt and let it get wet (from 15 minutes to two hours). Soaking allows you to properly wash away dirt, parasites invisible to the eye, as well as partially remove chemistry, if any. You can also soak greens in acidified water.

Before preparing the salad, rinse the greens again, chop finely, pour into a bowl. Then add the seasonings, mix and eat. It is not recommended to prepare such a salad for the future, as it very quickly loses its beneficial properties.

SWEET PUMPKIN SALAD

Ingredients:

Raw pumpkin, orange.

Seasonings:

Honey, lemon juice, ground ginger. Nutmeg, turmeric, cardamom (ground) are also combined with pumpkin.

Preparation:

This sweet salad can be eaten in place of dessert.

Take a couple of pumpkin pieces, cut off the peel, chop into cubes and put in a bowl. Cut the orange into four parts and remove the films over a bowl. Throw the pulp there. Add honey, lemon juice and ginger to taste.

SWEET BEET SALAD

Ingredients:

Boiled beets, raisins (preferably dark, it contains more nutrients).

Seasonings:

Not required.

Preparation:

This salad can also be used as a dessert. Since beets are boiled, they are more satisfying than pumpkin.

We put 2-3 medium beets to cook. Put 3-5 tablespoons of raisins in a bowl, rinse and leave to soak in water. The raisins should be kept so that they become soft, but not swollen. If it absorbs too much water, it will become tasteless.

Clean the cooled boiled beets, cut into small cubes and mix with well-washed raisins.
