Here's a salad I have in the summer - one of the most frequent guests on the table. And here are the reasons: it is fast and takes 5 minutes to cook. And it is also light for the stomach, in summer it is hot and heavy food sometimes, well, you don't want to at all. Plus, it is bright and lends itself to a huge modification, i.e. practically does not get bored. In autumn and winter, such a salad will be a good vitamin supplement with bright colors, which we sometimes lack so much. Below, as usual, in the block of replacements, I will tell you what can be added and changed.
What you need:
- Canned tuna - 1 can
- Mix of lettuce leaves or separately lettuce leaves of your choice
- Red onion -1pc.
- Tomatoes - 2 pcs.
- Sweet mustard beans or plain -1 tsp.
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Parsley - optional
Refueling:
- Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
- Balsamic vinegar -1 tsp.
- Lemon juice - 1 tsp.
- Lemon zest - 1/4 tsp
How to cook:
1. Wash lettuce leaves and blot moisture. I like the frieze, arugula and a lot of lettuce in this salad. The iceberg looks great too - it's crispy.
2. For dressing, mix oil, bite and lemon juice.
3. Rub the lemon zest into the dressing.
4. Chop the red onion very thinly.
5. Try it. If the onion is strong, soak in cold water for 4-5 minutes.
6. Cut the tomatoes into slices or cubes if they are large.
7. Tear the lettuce leaves coarsely and put in a bowl. Add tomatoes and onions. Drizzle with salad dressing.
8. Mash the tuna thoroughly with a fork.
9. Add fish to bowl along with mustard. Align with salt and pepper. Mix gently.
10. Canned tuna salad is ready.
Bon Appetit!
Technical issues and replacements
1. As I said, you can just take a store-bought salad mix or use lettuce, arugula, parsley, lolo-rosso, frieze, and so on.
2. For a brighter taste, red onions can be pickled for the same 5 minutes, sprinkling with vinegar.
3. Instead of the suggested dressing, you can use yogurt (my wife makes it regularly and we have it in constant supply) or homemade mayonnaise (2 minutes of work).
4. In winter, I use stalk celery and apples instead of tomatoes. But in this combination, instead of dressing, I take yogurt or mayonnaise.
5. Again, instead of red onions, you can take white salad or even green onions.
6. Seeds or pine nuts can be used as a crunchy addition.
7. And don't forget the black pepper. Sprinkle them over the finished dish. I like.
conclusions
What can I say, a bright and healthy salad. Crunchy and lightweight. Fresh and tasty.
I can eat a whole bowl of this, eat from my heart and still feel lightness in my body. I will not rant any more, but simply recommend it for cooking. Prepare and tell us how you did it, what you changed and what you experimented with.
And for today I have everything. Be healthy. Your Bra.
