Two light salads for dinner

It's no secret that dinner should be light. This rule should be remembered especially by those who watch their figure and their health. For dinner, it is best to eat lean poultry, fish, cottage cheese - foods that contain a large amount of protein. In order for this food to be better processed and absorbed by the body, it can be combined with light salads. In this article we will share with you two options for vitamin and healthy salads.

The first salad that is perfect for both meat and fish is cabbage with tomatoes and mustard dressing. To prepare this simple salad we will need: Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, corn, onions, herbs: dill and parsley. First, let's prepare the cabbage for our salad. We very carefully wash the cabbage leaves and cut it into thin strips, the longer the more interesting the salad will look. We recommend marinating onions to make them softer. Salt and pepper the onion cut into half rings, add a pinch of sugar, vegetable oil and vinegar. We marinate the onions for about half an hour, this time will be enough for the onions to marinate and release their juice. Cut the tomatoes as you like, maybe into slices, maybe into squares.Parsley can be chopped coarsely, so the salad will look more original. When all the products are prepared, we begin to make the dressing. It is the dressing that gives the salad that interesting and refined taste. We make the dressing like this: mix mustard beans, vegetable oil, vinegar and a little lemon juice, soy sauce, a little salt and sugar, ground black pepper. Mix the dressing very thoroughly to obtain a jelly-like consistency. And the last step: mix all the previously prepared ingredients, add canned corn and dressing..

The second salad is also very easy to prepare and no less healthy than the first. Our salad contains the following ingredients: lettuce, boiled chicken, cherry tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. To prepare this salad, any lettuce leaves are suitable. It is very important to rinse the leaves well and place them on a paper towel to dry. Rinse the chicken meat and boil in salted water adding allspice and black pepper, bay leaf and curry seasoning. Boil the fillet for about 30 minutes so that it is juicy. Now you can start assembling the salad. Lettuce leaves can be cut into fairly large pieces. In a deep bowl, mix lettuce leaves, cherry tomatoes and diced chicken.To make the salad aromatic, add a couple of basil leaves. Mix all ingredients, add salt and pepper, and pour olive oil. To add sourness to the salad, sprinkle it with lemon juice. Before serving, sprinkle the salad with grated cheese; hard mozzarella or parmesan are best here..
