Salad is light, fresh and healthy food. But not everyone knows the basic rules for preparing salads, so you may have a not quite appetizing, fatty and not very attractive dish in front of you. Let’s figure out how to cook a salad correctly.
Do not use lettuce leaves immediately after washing
The excess water remaining on the leaves will make your salad tasteless, as the water will dilute the salad dressing and make it taste bland. Therefore, dry the salad thoroughly before using;
Salad dressing is very important
Pair the salad dressings correctly with the salad leaves of your choice. For delicate leaves – an easy dressing, for denser and coarser leaves – a more impressive dressing. And do not overdo it with the quantity, do not allow vegetables and leaves to float in a salad, like in a soup;
Do not mix all the ingredients at once
Were there situations when in the salad served some ingredients you had to look for at the very bottom of the plate? This is all due to the fact that everything was immediately mixed. And you add, for example, cherry tomatoes or cheese petals, or croutons just before serving. A beautiful and appetizing view is guaranteed!
Help hands!
The salad should be lush, the leaves are not crumpled and your hands will help you with this. Feel free to mix the salad with your hands, they will do better than any cutlery, but of course, use disposable gloves.
