Olivie

The usual Olivier salad is a welcome guest on our tables during the cold season. Moreover, housewives prepare it not only for holidays, but also on ordinary days. This hearty dish is a godsend during the winter cold.

To prepare a regular Olivier salad, take:

• boiled potatoes (5 pcs.),
• two boiled carrots,
• boiled “doctor’s” sausage or boiled meat (540 g),
• canned peas,
• salt,
• pickled cucumbers (jar),
• mayonnaise,
• greenery.

To prepare a regular salad, you need to boil vegetables (potatoes and carrots) in advance. After they have cooled, peel them and cut them into cubes. You also need to hard boil the eggs (cook for ten minutes). We also cut them into cubes. Grind the sausage in the same way. Many housewives try to use boiled meat instead of sausages. This salad is much healthier. If you want to get a tender Olivier, we recommend taking chicken fillet. The salad is also very tasty with pork.

Next, cut the pickled cucumbers. Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Season the finished salad with mayonnaise and decorate with sprigs of herbs.

"Shuba" salad

The usual “shuba” salad is a welcome guest on our tables. Even those who are indifferent to herring love it. In a salad, simple fish is very tasty. The dish attracts not only its taste, but also the simple ingredients used for its preparation.

Ingredients:

• herring fillet (340 g),
• three carrots,
• mayonnaise,
• large beets,
• four eggs,
• the same number of small potatoes.

Boil potatoes, beets and carrots in their jackets. Then cool in cold water, peel and grate. Boil the eggs hard, cool and cut into cubes.

Take a deep container and place finely chopped onion on its bottom. Place a layer of herring fillet on top. Next comes a layer of grated potatoes, smeared with mayonnaise, carrots and eggs. We certainly coat all tiers with mayonnaise. The topmost layer is grated beets. This is how easy it is to prepare your favorite “shuba” salad.

Inexpensive New Year's salad with liver

Salads with liver do not appear on our tables very often. However, isn't the start of a new year the time when it makes sense to try something new? In addition, such salads can also be called quite budget-friendly. For example, for this liver salad you will only need to purchase:

• 250 g of liver (usually pork, but you can use beef or even chicken)
• fresh cucumber
• green apple
• two eggs
• mayonnaise
• salt (to taste).

Clean the liver from films, cut into small pieces and fry in vegetable oil, adding a little salt and pepper. The finished product must be allowed to cool. Grate the apple and cucumber on a shredder. Cut the boiled eggs. Mix all ingredients, add salt (if necessary) and season with mayonnaise.

Caesar salad"

The regular Caesar salad is loved by many. The name of the dish has nothing to do with the name of the famous Roman emperor. The salad was named after the man who invented it - Caesar Cardini, an American chef from Italy. It was he who accidentally came up with this amazingly tasty dish in 1924. They say that the owner of the restaurant did not know what to treat his visitors, since he had a lot of alcohol in stock and not a lot of snacks. So he decided to make a salad from what he had. Thus a new dish was born. The visitors liked it. Since then, the salad has become incredibly popular, its recipe quickly spread around the world. Of course, recently many new options for its preparation have appeared. They began to put many new components into the salad that were not present in the original version. We offer a classic recipe for a regular Caesar salad.

Ingredients:

• a head of iceberg lettuce,
• chicken fillet (470 g),
• parmesan (120 g),
• cherry tomatoes (210 g),
• half white bread
• olive oil,
• garlic,
• black pepper,
• salt.

For the Caesar dressing:

• olive oil (50 ml),
• two eggs,
• three tbsp. l. lemon juice,
• parmesan (55 g),
• salt,
• mustard (two tablespoons).

When preparing a dish, you should start with the sauce. To do this, you need to remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance so that they are not cold. Or immerse them in warm water for fifteen minutes. Pour the eggs into a blender bowl, add garlic and lemon juice. Grind the cheese and add to the rest of the ingredients. Using a blender, beat the mixture until smooth. Caesar sauce is ready.

For the salad we need delicious croutons. You can prepare them yourself. To do this, cut the bread into cubes, removing the crust.

Pour some olive oil into a container and add the crushed garlic with a knife. After that, we put it in the microwave for literally 30 seconds. During this time, the oil will have time to absorb the garlic aroma.

Place the sliced ​​bread on a baking sheet and pour the prepared sauce on top, then put it in the oven for fifteen minutes. The crackers should fry until golden brown.

Cut the chicken fillet into long pieces, wash it well, season with salt and pepper and fry in olive oil on all sides. The meat should have a light golden hue. After cooling, cut each piece into thin slices.

Iceberg lettuce is used to prepare the dish. Outwardly, it resembles cabbage. Its advantage is that it does not lose its properties after adding sauce. Lettuce leaves remain just as crispy. It is believed that the leaves should not be cut - they can be bitter and must be torn by hand. We wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into quarters, and the Parmesan into slices.

The salad must be assembled before serving. Place lettuce leaves on a plate, put meat and Parmesan cheese on them. Next, lay out the tomatoes and croutons, and pour the sauce on top of the dish.
