You can get a complex of vitamins not only with the help of pharmaceutical products, but also by combining business with pleasure, that is, while eating. So, we know that a large number of useful substances are found in vegetables, herbs, fruits and herbs. And with the help of these products it is quite possible to get enough vitamins for the benefit of the body.
Today, without any unnecessary theory about the benefits of this or that vitamin, we will try to approach the issue practically and study as many salad recipes as possible that can safely be called vitamin-rich. Why salads and not individual products? Because the combination of different products provides a much wider range of vitamins, and with their help you can provide the body with a whole complex of these beneficial substances.
So, Below are recipes for salads with a variety of vegetables, herbs and fruits . First, let’s just make a reservation that in vitamin salads you can use not only root vegetables, but also their greens. For example, red beet tops have a peculiar sour-spicy taste, and radish greens are tart, salty and spicy at the same time. Therefore, with the help of that herb that we often throw away, you can make your usual salad completely new. There is only one requirement for this greenery: it must be young and without spots. So let's seize the moment before the vegetables get old.
The benefits of vitamin salads
In order to regularly receive vitamins and fiber, vitamin salads It is advisable to eat at least a little every day. These salads use raw, salted, boiled and canned vegetables and fruits. For example, baked red beets contain only slightly less vitamins than raw ones, and it is better to eat carrots by frying them in oil. Therefore, one cannot say that a vitamin salad is a salad made from raw foods.
Vitamin salads can be independent cold dishes, and they can also be used as a side dish for cold meat and fish dishes. Dress salads or a mixture of vinegar and vegetable oil, or mayonnaise. Some raw vegetable salads are seasoned with sour cream. For children and in dietary meals, it is better to use lemon or cranberry juice instead of vinegar.
It is very good to cut up salad ingredients and season them with sauce right before serving. You can store the prepared salad in the refrigerator for a short time, but even short storage will deteriorate its taste and reduce its value.
