The benefits of raw zucchini and their calorie content

In its raw form, nutritionists recommend eating young zucchini, whose seeds have not yet ripened. For the preparation of salads, it is better to use fruits 20-25 cm in size, and cook them together with a delicate peel. Ripe fruits and those that are stored for a long time do not lose their useful properties, but they are more suitable for dishes that require heat treatment.

The calorie content of raw zucchini is low - only 24 kcal per 100 g. And this is not surprising, given that it is 95% water. The remaining 5% includes:

  • lots of minerals- calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium;
  • trace elements, without which the body cannot do, - titanium, lithium, zinc, molybdenum;
  • vitamins of group B, as well as PP, A, C;
  • organic acids in a small amount;
  • cellulose involved in the work of the digestive tract;
  • simple carbohydrates or sugars.

Fresh zucchini does not contain fat at all, so it is recommended for overweight people. In the presence of such low-calorie product losing weight is much easier.

Its undoubted advantages include ease of preparation and good digestibility. Raw zucchini also cleans the intestines well.

But it is best to prepare a salad of zucchini for the winter. Juicy and very fragrant, it will cheer you up, as well as replenishes the human body with vitamins and useful minerals.

Take, for example, an option that requires:

  • 1 kilogram of young zucchini;
  • 10 grams of fine salt;
  • a bunch of fresh parsley;
  • 1-2 grams of ground pepper (namely black).

Dear cooks, today I want to tell you the recipe for the most delicious, in my opinion,. I often cook this salad in spring and summer. As soon as fresh young zucchini appear on the market, I am happy to rush to cook this simple summer salad. It turns out very tasty: it can be eaten both hot and cold. This salad is also very healthy and very easy to prepare. I advise you to immediately prepare this spicy salad: I am sure that many of you will like its taste.

Ingredients:

  • zucchini (zucchini) the average size) - three pieces (approximately 700 grams);
  • walnuts- half a glass;
  • parsley - three tablespoons;
  • fragrant garlic - two cloves;
  • ground black pepper - according to your desire and taste;
  • salt - one teaspoon;
  • vegetable oil - 50 grams.

The most delicious zucchini salad. Step by step recipe

  1. The first step in preparing a salad with zucchini and walnuts will be the preparation of zucchini.
  2. We wash three small zucchini well with running water, dry them from moisture residues with a paper kitchen towel. On both sides, cut off the stem and tip.
  3. Cut the zucchini into cubes (not small). If the zucchini is not young, then it is necessary to peel it from them and, if necessary, remove hard seeds.
  4. Advice. I want to add a few words about the choice of zucchini for this spicy salad. I use zucchini. These zucchini are very tender and delicious pulp, soft skin. Such zucchini can be eaten after a minimum heat treatment or even raw. Therefore, for salads, they are ideal candidates. Plus, if you believe the treatises of nutritionists, zucchini contains fewer calories than regular zucchini. How to distinguish zucchini from ordinary zucchini? Zucchini most often has a dark green skin, sometimes with a random pattern on it, such zucchini is slightly smaller than simple zucchini. But, if you have not found zucchini in your market or store, do not be discouraged. Feel free to buy ordinary light green (light green) zucchini and cook a salad with them. You need to choose young zucchini, not sluggish and small in size. Nevertheless, it is believed that ordinary zucchini is most suitable for frying or stewing. Both types of zucchini are very beneficial for our health. They are well absorbed by the body and contain a large number of carotene and vitamin C. If you are on a diet, then this vegetable is simply indispensable in the diet. In people with a diseased liver, zucchini contributes to the separation of bile and the removal of harmful substances from the body.
  5. So, let's continue to prepare a summer salad. Sliced ​​zucchini is sent to a bowl.
  6. Add a teaspoon of salt to them and mix well: the zucchini should be salted and give off excess moisture.
  7. Pour the zucchini into a colander and leave for 30-40 minutes. During this time, excess moisture (zucchini juice) will drain into a bowl, and the zucchini themselves will be salted.
  8. Walnuts must be finely chopped. The best way to do this is with a knife. It is not necessary to grind very finely in a blender: they should be felt in the salad and give a bright nutty taste.
  9. Parsley leaves are washed with running water, blotted from moisture residues and finely chopped with a knife.
  10. After 30 minutes, pour the zucchini into a mold, pour out the separated juice. We take a paper kitchen towel and blot our zucchini well from excess moisture.
  11. Now we will fry the zucchini for the salad. To do this, we need a pan with the largest bottom diameter that you have. It is needed because zucchini should be fried in one layer. If you don’t have a wide frying pan, then you need to fry the zucchini in turn, in two stages.
  12. Pour a little vegetable oil into the pan (most often I use refined sunflower or olive oil), and heat it up strongly.
  13. We send zucchini to a hot frying pan and fry them over high heat for 4-5 minutes until they are browned.
  14. We send the fried zucchini to a salad bowl.
  15. Add parsley to them.
  16. We squeeze two cloves of garlic through the press and also send them to the salad bowl. If you want to make the salad spicier, then add more garlic to your liking.
  17. Lastly, add the chopped walnuts and mix well.

A simple summer zucchini salad is ready. It can be served as hot salad, or cold: focus on your mood and preference. My family loves more cold version and the neighbor loved the hot salad.
