It is said that the color green has aexclusively positive impact on a person. And imagine what benefit green vegetables and fruits bring when they get inside our mortal body. Green not in the sense of unripe, but in the sense of green in color. Green salad leaves, cucumbers, zucchini, parsley and dill (and other herbs), stalk celery, broccoli, green beans, green peas, gooseberries, avocado, kiwi... Their value lies not only in the countless amount of vitamins and microelements, but also in the fact that the calorie content of this food is almost negative. That is, we eat - and do not get fat, but only get better. Of course, you can crunch on a green apple or cucumber, you can chew on curly parsley or enjoy sweet gooseberries. Or you can make a delicious green salad for dinner or breakfast. Let's find out the recipes for such salads from green vegetables and diversify our menu with light and healthy snacks. And don't worry about their calorie content - here it is simply minimal.

The easiest recipe for a green salad

This green salad is made (you won't believe it!) from green salad leaves. And the recipe for its preparation is, well, simply indecently simple. Needless to say, its caloric content is also low (indecently). Ingredients:

• Leaf salad (3-4 kopecks)
• Vegetable oil (3 tablespoons)
• Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
• Salt, black pepper, mustard

Preparation:Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and let the water drain. Tear them (tear them, not cut them) into small "pieces" and season with a light sauce. To prepare the sauce, dissolve salt in lemon juice, add ground black pepper and pour in vegetable oil. Shake everything well and mix with ready-made mustard. Note: If you don't have ready-made mustard, take a tablespoon of mustard powder and dilute it with boiled water, add a little sugar and grind: this will not affect the taste of the dressing or the calorie content of the salad.
