Who would doubt the benefits of vegetables?And no one doubts it, but not everyone likes vegetables, so to speak, in their pure form. So we have to be sophisticated, contrive, ingenious (call it what you will) to feed our family with healthy vegetables. And not some overseas delicacies (broccoli, avocado and the like), but the most native root vegetables. And if this task remains relevant for you, then try making a salad from beets and carrots. Do you think that it is impossible to “create” anything interesting from these products? You are wrong! Choose a recipe and try.
Puff pastry "Triumph"
An exceptionally healthy salad. And its original look is also good for a good mood. In any case, everyone will want to try this salad. Ingredients:
- 1 large fresh beet;
- 1 raw carrot (large);
- 200 g of flavored hard cheese;
- A handful of raisins without pits;
- Half a glass of chopped walnuts;
- 3 garlic cloves;
- 1 pack of mayonnaise.
Preparation:The salad is healthy, first of all, because it contains raw vegetables. And for us, this fact is also convenient: nothing needs to be prepared in advance. True, you will have to do some things. First, wash and peel the root vegetables and chop them with a coarse grater (separately). Then drain the excess juice from the grated beets, otherwise the salad will run and will not be able to hold its shape. Also, turn the cheese into shavings and finely chop the garlic. Now add walnuts to the beets, put raisins in the carrots, and mix the cheese with garlic. The ingredients are ready, all that remains is to lay out the layers. For this, we will need an ordinary deep salad bowl and cling film. Lightly moisten the salad bowl with water and cover it with film (from the bottom to the edges). After that, begin laying out the layers in the following order:
- beets with nuts;
- carrots with raisins;
- cheese with garlic.
Each layer is well compacted and lightlyspread with mayonnaise. Make the layers not too thick (about two to three centimeters) and add them until the prepared products run out or the salad bowl is full. Level the last layer with a knife or spatula, and then... Now it's time for the hocus-pocus. Cover the salad bowl with a flat wide plate (bottom up) and, holding it with your hands, quickly turn the whole structure upside down. Then carefully remove the salad bowl and cling film - voila! Our wonderful salad is ready! Decorate it as you wish: you can use the remains of grated products, greens, a mayonnaise net, or you can leave it as is. The salad looks very appetizing even without additional decorations.
"Ministerial" Salad
This is also a very interesting salad with a lot of promise.name. However, the loud name does not at all indicate the presence of any special products in it. For the salad we will need completely ordinary and accessible ingredients:
- 1 medium beet;
- 1 small carrot;
- 1 fresh apple;
- Sour cream;
- Mustard.
Preparation:The beets must first be boiled, cooled and peeled. We will put the carrots in the salad raw. Therefore, we will simply wash and peel them well. We will also peel the apple, remove the seeds and hard core. After that, chop the apple and root vegetables in a blender or with a grater and mix. For dressing, mix sour cream with mustard (in a three to one ratio), add salt to taste and season the salad. That's all. The "Ministerial" salad is ready to be served.
"Melitka" salad
It is also called "Brush".And all because this salad sweeps out all unnecessary things from the body, cleans the intestinal walls no worse than a brush. You can treat yourself to this carrot and beet salad for dinner (without harming your figure), you can spend fasting days on it or eat it for health purposes. Ingredients:
- 1 raw beetroot;
- 1 raw carrot;
- Greenery;
- Olive oil;
- Linseed oil.
Preparation:Wash the vegetables thoroughly (they are root vegetables after all, and they grew in the ground), and then peel them. After that, grate the carrots and beets on a coarse grater or chop them in a blender, mix and season with a mixture of olive and linseed oil. Add herbs and salt to taste. Note: This salad can be varied with almost any finely chopped fresh (raw) vegetables and fruits. You can put in it: apple, cabbage (white or red, Savoy or Chinese), pears and grapes, onions, seaweed, green radish. And for those who like salads with mayonnaise, we can recommend using sour cream and mustard for dressing this salad. By the way, you can also dress this salad with vinaigrette sauce.
"Kremlin" salad
Completely vegetarian composition, pleasant taste andsome mysterious understatement: either a new vinaigrette, or a "fur coat" without herring. However, the salad is actually tasty and light, and it contains the following ingredients:
- Beet;
- Carrot;
- Potatoes;
- Eggs;
- Onion.
For seasoning:
- Garlic;
- Salt;
- Pepper;
- Mayonnaise.
Preparation:For this salad, we need all the ingredients in equal proportions. Wash the vegetables and put them to boil. By the way, beets take longer to cook than other vegetables, so they need to be cooked in a separate pan, but carrots and potatoes can be boiled together. We also need to boil the eggs hard, cool them and peel them. We also peel the boiled and cooled vegetables and chop everything on a coarse grater. Only the onion will have to be finely chopped. It would be good to squeeze out excess juice from the grated beets so that the salad does not turn out watery. Now we can start assembling the salad. We will lay it in layers, spreading them with mayonnaise mixed with crushed garlic, salt and black pepper:
- potato,
- bow,
- carrot,
- beet,
- eggs.
Place the salad in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and serve.
Salad "Genghis Khan"
Another variation on the theme of beetroot and carrot salad. The rather “serious” composition of this salad will make it an excellent treat for the holiday table. Ingredients:
- 4 beets;
- 2 carrots;
- A handful of prunes;
- 150 g of cheese;
- 400 g of chicken meat;
- 3 garlic cloves;
- Incomplete glass of walnuts;
- Dill greens.
Preparation:Boil and cool the beets and carrots, chop the peeled walnuts and garlic. Soak the prunes and then cut them into pieces, grate the cheese. Now we need to fry the chicken cut into pieces in vegetable oil and cool in a colander or sieve to drain the fat. Then add walnuts to the chicken fillet, combine the carrots grated on a coarse grater with cheese shavings, and mix the beets with garlic and mayonnaise. Layer the salad:
- half prepared beet,
- chicken with nuts,
- mayonnaise,
- carrots with cheese,
- mayonnaise,
- prunes,
- mayonnaise,
- beets with garlic.
Then you need to put the salad in the refrigerator forhalf an hour. And then sprinkle it with dill and serve the original and very tasty salad. Let every dish you prepare be not only tasty, but also healthy. And for food to be healthy, it must be prepared “with soul”. So cook with pleasure, and bon appetit! We recommend reading:
