The festive table is always an abundance of high-calorie mayonnaise, fatty foods and other unhealthy ingredients that are contraindicated for many. To avoid negative consequences and meet the holiday in a good mood, you can prepare the same delicious, but dietary salads for the New Year 2021.

Salads on the festive table without mayonnaise

Salads can be not only tasty, but also healthy if prepared without mayonnaise. We offer 3 recipes at once, which will be an excellent alternative to a set of high-calorie snacks.

With chicken fillet

Preparation:

1. Grind the celery stalks and send them to a mixing bowl.
2. We cut the boiled meat into pieces or simply disassemble it into fibers, transfer it to a bowl with celery.
3. Cut the dried prunes into four parts and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
4. Salt, pepper, season with Greek yogurt and put in a beautiful salad bowl.

If you have time, then cool the fillets directly in the broth, so the meat in the salad will be juicy and soft.

Olivier with pesto sauce

If you can't imagine a New Year's table without Olivier, then you shouldn't give it up. There is an unusual recipe with a photo of a salad with pesto sauce. The appetizer turns out to be original in taste and, most importantly, low-calorie.

Ingredients:

• 150 g pork (beef) tongue;
• 2 bay leaves;
• 4 black peppercorns;
• 2 carrots;
• 200 g chicken thighs;
• 12 quail eggs;
• 200 g peas (frozen);
• 200 g peas (canned);
• 150 g pickled gherkins;
• 3 tbsp. l. pine nuts;
• 1 tbsp. l. mustard;
• 4 tbsp. l. olive oil;
• 2 green onion feathers;
• salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation:

• Put pork or beef offal in a saucepan with cold water, add salt, peppercorns and bay leaf to it. We put on fire and after boiling we cook from 1, 5 to 2 hours. Then we cool and clean.
• Boil the carrots until cooked.
• Put chicken thighs in boiling water, cook for 30-40 minutes, add some salt to the meat during cooking.

• Put quail eggs in a saucepan, fill them with cold water, after boiling, cook for literally 5 minutes.
• You also need to boil frozen green peas. We cook it for a short time, 5 minutes, then put it on a sieve.
• Pour canned peas into a bowl, and also put chopped pickled gherkins.
• We cut the tongue and quail eggs into cubes, send them to the rest of the ingredients.
• Cut carrots and poultry into small cubes, send them to a bowl with chopped green onions.

• Pour the nuts into a blender, add oil, boiled peas, mustard, salt and pepper. Grind everything until a thick homogeneous mass is obtained.

Season the salad with the resulting sauce and immediately serve it to the table

Thighs can be replaced with breast, but they are more juicy. Instead of gherkins, you can use regular cucumbers, although they are spicy in taste and more crunchy. If hot mustard is used for the sauce, then reduce its amount to 1 teaspoon.

Tuna under a fur coat

Another traditional New Year's salad is herring under a fur coat, but if you need to prepare a dietary meal, we suggest trying tuna under a fur coat. The salad turns out to be unusual, tasty, light and nutritious at the same time.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of tuna (in its own juice);
• 1 jar sweet corn
• 300 ml of natural yogurt (2.5%);
• 3 eggs;
• 1 beet;
• 1 carrot;
• 3 potatoes;
• 1 onion;
• pickle.

Preparation:

Wrap the potatoes, beets and carrots separately in foil, put on a baking sheet. We bake vegetables for 40 minutes at a temperature of 200 ° C

• At this time, boil the eggs and chop the onion into small cubes. Pour a spoonful of vinegar into the onion, add a spoonful of sugar if desired, pour boiling water over it, cover and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
• We clean the pieces of tuna from bones and fins. Mash with a fork and mix with pickled onions. This will be the first layer of the salad.

• The next layer is grated potatoes, which are mixed with corn (100 g) and yogurt.
• The third layer is carrots. We also add 100 g of corn and yogurt to it, mix and continue to collect the salad.

• Now we make a layer of boiled eggs, which we grind and just mix with yogurt.
• The last layer is beets. We send the salad to a cool place so that it is well saturated, decorate with herbs and sweet corn before serving.

Can be used for cooking and herring. The main thing is that it is of high quality and lightly salted. The carcass can be soaked in milk, so excess salt will go out of it, and the fish itself will become more delicate in taste.
