Light salad. Light salad is a nutritious salad made from easy-to-digest foods, dressed with vegetable oil, yogurt, sauce or low-fat dressing.
Food has a direct impact on our well-being. If you want to feel lightness, energy, vivacity - eat healthy, light food that saturates the body with useful substances, but does not knock you out, leaving only one desire - to lie on the couch. Want to eat and feel comfortable and easy? Forget about heavy, multi-component salads dressed with fat mayonnaise. In fact, mayonnaise only spoils the salad, its benefits and positive effects on health. You will have to make do with healthier dressings - lemon juice, olive oil, quality soy sauce, yogurt, low-fat sour cream, etc.
Choose only healthy foods for your salad. Give up sausages and smoked meats, which are often put in salads today. Only fresh seafood, vegetables, tender low-fat cheeses, fruits. Do not overdo it with cheese and eggs. Remember that leftover food from the refrigerator is not healthy food. All products must be fresh. For the same reason, you don’t have to cook a lot - it’s always better to make and eat a fresh salad than to think that the day before yesterday will also help improve your health. In such a salad there are no vitamins, no freshness.
The way food is processed is also important. If you are preparing a fish salad, then you do not need to fry it - it is better to stew or boil it. The same goes for chicken if you decide to make a fillet salad. Vegetables for light salads are taken fresh. Just wash and cut them. Therefore, light salads are fast salads. Healthy food can save time! It's a pity that fast food lovers don't know about it!
Separately, we should talk about salt, which is a provocateur of heart disease, inhibits the removal of fluid from the body and increases appetite. Add salt in a minimal amount - only such a salad is light and dietary.
To enhance the taste of a light salad, which may seem a little bland, you can use the right spices. Good options are cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and, of course, ground black pepper. Spices, after all, not only enrich the taste, but also burn fat. The feeling of lightness will intensify every day! Many blame the spices for stimulating the appetite. If you feel hungry, just eat a couple of extra spoons of salad, because it is very low in calories. Compared to any salad dressed with mayonnaise, a diet salad is a feather!

We were lucky to be among those invited to a real village wedding! Enjoyed a lot! It felt like we were back in the dashing nineties! Firstly, this event was celebrated not in a cafe, as is now customary, but at home, in a hut specially built for this purpose, which was a huge tent with tables and benches inside. Secondly, almost all local residents were invited to visit. Restless cooks, racing with each other, rushed from the kitchen to the tent, bringing more and more new dishes, which already stood on the tables in two tiers. What was there just was not even counted! And how delicious! “This is our signature salad, it is prepared for all events, in every home,” a woman sitting next to me whispered in my ear. "You should definitely try it," she added, which we, in fact, did. Honestly, the salad is so delicious that it is very difficult to stop eating it, moreover, all the necessary products for its preparation are almost always at hand, in every home. Interested?
