Light and tasty salads. Simple, easy, quick salads Forest edge salad with honey mushrooms
Light salad. Light salad - a nutritious salad made from easy-to-digest foods, seasoned 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, and cheerfulness, eat healthy, light food that saturates the body with useful substances, but does not exhaust you, leaving only one desire - to lie on the couch. Do you want to eat and feel comfortable and easy? Forget about heavy, multi-ingredient salads dressed with fatty 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, high-quality soy sauce, yogurt, low-fat sour cream, etc.
Choose only healthy foods for your salad. Avoid sausages and smoked meats, which are often added to salads today. Only fresh seafood, vegetables, delicate low-fat cheeses, fruits. Don't overdo it with cheese and eggs. Remember that leftover food from the refrigerator is not considered healthy food. All products must be fresh. For the same reason, you don’t need 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. This salad has no vitamins or freshness.
The way the food is processed is also important. If you are preparing a salad from fish, 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 salad with fillet. Vegetables for light salads are taken fresh. Just wash and cut them. Therefore, light salads are quick salads. Healthy food can save time! It's a pity that fast food lovers don't know about this!
We should also 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 this salad is light and dietary.
You can enhance the taste of a light salad, which may seem a little bland, with the help of properly selected spices. Good options are cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and, of course, ground black pepper. Spices not only enrich the taste, but also burn fat. The feeling of lightness will increase every day! Many people blame spices for stimulating their appetite. If you feel hungry, just eat a couple of extra spoons of salad, because it has very few calories. Compared to any salad dressed with mayonnaise, a diet salad is a feather!
A salad is usually a snack dish consisting of several chopped products and seasoned with some kind of sauce or vegetable oil. Sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, etc. can be used as a sauce.

Such salads can be prepared from both vegetables and fruits. There are also a large number of interesting solutions from meat, cheese, and seafood. The correct selection of ingredients sometimes allows you to create a real culinary masterpiece from ordinary products. For example, take a simple combination - carrots, apple, sour cream - and you will have a wonderful “quick” snack on your table, just a delicious salad. Or even simpler - cucumbers with sour cream.
