The salads presented in this selection are not only tasty, but also interesting because they contain no meat at all. However, for this reason, the dishes never cease to be very appetizing and satisfying.
If it is decided that meat salad should appear on the table, you can safely add boiled chicken or smoked sausage to any of the recipes.
For corn, it is recommended to choose jars with production dates in late summer and fall. It is in them that the manufacturer places corn kernels from a fresh harvest (and not dried raw materials).

Tomato and corn salad with fetax
Published: 08/06/2016 Posted by: Fairy of Dawn [Offline] Calories: Not specified Cooking time: Not specified
Sometimes I cook a dish without a recipe. I just take out of the refrigerator everything that is suitable for my idea, and on the spot I come up with the composition of the future dish. This is what I think many housewives do, especially those who know how to correctly combine ingredients with each other and are not afraid to do this. My next culinary impromptu turned out to be so successful that I wrote down the recipe and now I prepare this salad of tomatoes, corn and cheese according to my own recipe, sometimes deviating from the basic composition, adding new flavors to it. The basis for this snack is ripe tomato fruits, which go perfectly with spicy green onions and tender sweet corn. For a refined taste, I add soft milk cheese like “Fetax” or any similar one. There are options for dressing this salad with different sauces. Most often, I just use sour cream, but when I’m in the mood, I can make my favorite mayonnaise or hollandaise sauce, which only enhance the taste of such a dish. A light, zesty salad can be served as a snack for lunch along with toasted bread. What is typical, the dish is vegetarian and low-calorie, so it can be served during fasting or if you are on a diet. The recipe is for 2 servings.
Ingredients: - ripe tomato fruits - 2 - 3 pcs., - sweet corn - 1 can, - green onions - 1 bunch, - Fetaxa milk cheese - 150 g, - sauce (sour cream or mayonnaise) - 100 g, - salt, spices - to taste.
Step-by-step recipe with photos:
We sort through the green onions, discard the rotten feathers, and rinse the rest with cold water. If the greens have wilted a little, you can add a few ice cubes to the water to “revive” them. Then dry the onion with a towel and chop it very finely with a knife. I used pre-prepared, frozen onions.
Cut fetax milk cheese into neat cubes, no larger than 1 cm in size, otherwise they will fall apart.
We wash the tomato fruits in warm water. Then we cut them in half and cut out the place where the stalk is attached with a small amount of pulp - this is where all the harmful pesticides in purchased fruits are located. After this, we cut the tomato as we like best, depending on the shape and consistency of the fruit - into cubes or slices.
Now open the jar of corn, drain the liquid from it, and pour the grains into the salad bowl.
Mix the salad, add salt, favorite seasonings and sauce.
Serve immediately before the tomatoes release a lot of juice.
Warm salad with chicken liver and tomatoes will also be very tasty and easy to prepare, which you can easily make according to our recipe. Bon appetit!
