Appetizer of processed cheese in slices, balls, roll with garlic, egg, mayonnaise, crab sticks, herbs. Recipe

Hello, dear friends! Nadezhda is with you!

Often you want to whip up a snack so that it is tasty and healthy, and so that the calorie content does not go off scale. Such an appetizer could be a cheese appetizer with garlic. Usually the appetizer requires mayonnaise.

But what to do if mayonnaise is more of a harmful product than a healthy one? And what should you do if you still want to dress a salad, make a snack with mayonnaise, or just spread it on bread?

Indeed, industrial mayonnaise is a less than healthy product. Because most of these products are not produced in accordance with GOST. For example, to give mayonnaise an appetizing smell, manufacturers use flavorings, which, when accumulated in the human body, can cause liver dysfunction. It may also contain preservatives, flavor enhancers and other harmful substances. Also, for the production of mayonnaise sauce, purified vegetable oil is used, from which vitamins, microelements and proteins are removed during processing.

The result is plant-based trans fat. It is not absorbed by the human body, but is deposited on the walls of blood vessels. And this leads to their blockage. Fat is also deposited on the walls of the stomach, pancreas, liver and also on our waist and hips, disrupting our slimness.

In the production of industrial mayonnaise, aspartame is used as a sweetener. When heated, this substance is converted into poisonous alcohol and phenylalanine. Therefore, mayonnaise should not be used for preparing hot dishes.

And monosodium glutamate, used as a flavor enhancer, leads to damage to the walls of the stomach. In these cases, the harm of industrial mayonnaise to the body is obvious. The harm of mayonnaise increases many times over if it is stored incorrectly or has expired.

Therefore, we exclude this product from our diet!

What to do, you ask?

There is an exit! I offer you a recipe for homemade mayonnaise, which will completely replace the industrial one. Of course, for those who are not yet ready, use store-bought mayonnaise, but rarely, on holidays and in small quantities.

Because the transition to proper nutrition should take place gradually, not immediately. In the first week, give up one harmful product, in the second, another, etc.

If you have already embarked on the path of proper nutrition, then use your own homemade mayonnaise. This mayonnaise can be consumed every day! It is very tasty! And you will forget about fatty and harmful mayonnaise! A cheese appetizer with garlic and homemade mayonnaise will not only be tasty, but also very healthy!

Salted garlic

During the harvest period, you should take care to make as many preparations as possible for the winter, since, unfortunately, vegetables and fruits have a limited shelf life. To preserve the maximum amount of nutrients contained in the cloves, garlic can be pickled or salted. If you salt garlic heads for the winter, then it should be served as a complete snack, and if chopped, it should be added to dishes as a seasoning. This recipe will tell you how to prepare a healthy preparation of peeled garlic for the winter.

You need to take the following products:

• Peeled garlic - 500 g;
• Salt - 150 g.

Sequencing:

1. Peel the cloves and finely chop them into cubes, mix with salt and transfer to pre-prepared jars.
2. Pack the mixture well on top and cover with plastic lids.

Garlic preparations, including this one, can be stored in the refrigerator all winter. We should not forget that when adding this seasoning to various dishes, they must be salted with caution, in order to avoid an excess of salt.

“Jewish” salad of processed cheese with garlic

Hello dear readers. “Jewish” salad is not just a hearty, healthy appetizer with a specific taste, it is a legend. It’s not for nothing that the salad was mega popular during the era of “stagnation” of socialist society and the emergence of modern class inequality.

Rarely has any festive event, from a spontaneous kitchen sabantuy to side-by-side ceremonies dedicated to celebrating the victory of the poor over the rich, been complete without such a global snack.

The national love for salad did not arise out of nowhere. The ease of preparation of the recipe, low cost, versatility, and extraordinary pungent taste are the cornerstones of the popularity of salad made from processed cheese and garlic. To prepare a cold appetizer you will need to spend only 15 minutes, or even less.

The products used in the recipe are absolutely ridiculous. I think you are familiar with the saying, “Keep it simple and people will be drawn to you.” I probably wouldn’t be revealing America to you if I told you that it also applies to culinary recipes. Today's dish is an example of this.

There are definitely a couple of long-forgotten processed cheeses lying around in your refrigerator, bought without a specific purpose. “Let them lie there and suddenly they will come in handy.” So they came in handy. What can we say about garlic, eggs and mayonnaise, which are mandatory in the food basket of every refrigerator.

The dish received its original name back in the Soviet years. The main idea of ​​the salad, in my opinion, was the ability to adapt to any conditions without losing its individuality and dignity. Perhaps this is precisely what served as the pretext for such an objective nickname - Jewish salad.

Being a distant descendant of Polish Jews, I feel especially proud of this work of culinary art. What is good about cooking is that styles, trends, and “religions” that are not similar to each other peacefully coexist here without denying or competing with each other.

The German salad calmly tolerates its Jewish counterpart. It, in turn, does not conflict with Arab or Orthodox cuisine. Peace, love and understanding reigns on the culinary blog. It's a pity that this doesn't happen in life.

“Sanya, where have you gone, don’t forget about the topic of the article. Let's slow down. Ask the question you have in mind and begin the story of how to prepare a salad with melted cheese. Get to the point!”

These are the thoughts of the companion living within me. And here is the actual question itself. Tell me, dear friends, in your opinion, why the salad received such a name. The reader who voiced the most interesting guesses will receive 50 rubles in his e-wallet in 10 days.

I continue, obeying my inner voice. Modern cooking knows many variations of the dish. I will prepare a traditional recipe for Jewish salad.

Jewish processed cheese salad

The following ingredients will be required:

• Fresh chicken eggs (three to five pieces).
• Processed cheese (two or three pieces).
• Mayonnaise.
• Salt and black pepper.
• Garlic (two or three cloves).
• Fresh herbs (optional).

At the beginning of preparing the dish, I boil the eggs.

After cooling, I peel the boiled eggs from their shells, and the processed cheese from the packaging.

Then I grate the eggs on a fine grater. I also grate processed cheese.

I chop the garlic with a knife. You can also use a garlic press for this purpose.

I mix all the ingredients, salt, add ground black pepper, and then season the salad with mayonnaise. To give the salad a delicate texture, I recommend adding a small piece of butter.

Then I mix again.

As a dressing, natural homemade mayonnaise would be a suitable option, the recipe for which can be found here. If you use it, the snack will delight you not only with its expressive taste, giving it the missing touches of aftertaste, but it will also definitely become much healthier.

Cool the dish before serving and place in a suitable sized bowl. After all, people have different appetites! You can also spread the “Jewish” salad on brown bread or baguette croutons, garnishing with a thin slice of lemon and a sprig of parsley.

Appetizer with processed cheese, seasoned with homemade mayonnaise. And in combination with ordinary garlic, the taste is comparable only to a delicacy. Years will pass, and I am sure of this, there will be snacks left on the tables. In winter, spring and certainly in summer, we will rely on croutons for salad.
