Almost everyone has encountered a situation when guests unexpectedly appear. Or you just don't want to stand at the stove for a long time and cook, but devote more time to rest and other pressing problems. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to quickly and easily prepare something tasty and satisfying. A good option is simple salads , especially since the variety of recipes allows you to choose a salad for every taste. In just a few minutes, the salad is ready to serve. I propose to pay attention to two, in my opinion, very successful recipes.
Instant vegetable salad with cheese
It's no secret that a classic salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and onions, seasoned with vegetable oil or sour cream to taste, is one of the fastest cooking times, while always tasty and relevant. You can cook it for any reason and at any time. At the same time, you can try to diversify this salad, for example, with cheese or seaweed.
Ingredients for the salad:
three tomatoes;
two cucumbers;
one small onion;
50-70 grams of hard or processed cheese;
50-70 seaweed;
herbs, salt, oil or mayonnaise for dressing
Preparation
After first removing the skin, cut the cucumbers into cubes or rings, then cut the tomatoes into pieces of a similar shape and size. Chop the onion finely and add the whole seaweed. Processed cheese must also be cut into small pieces and added on top. If you decide to use hard cheese, then it is better to grind it on a grater. Add the herbs and mix well. Vegetable oil or mayonnaise is used as a dressing, depending on taste preferences. If desired, the salad can be decorated with herbs on top, for example, parsley leaves.
Simple salad of crab sticks with beans and ham
In a situation when time is running out, but you want to cook something satisfying. The ideal way out of the situation would be a salad of crab sticks with ham and beans.
Ingredients for the salad:
100-200 grams of crab sticks;
a can of canned beans;
a can of canned corn;
jar of mushrooms (pickled);
200 grams of ham (can be replaced with boiled sausage);
100 grams of hard cheese;
one onion;
mayonnaise for dressing
Preparation
The ham (or boiled sausage) and onion are diced and fried in a skillet. Mushrooms are fried separately. Cut the crab sticks into small cubes, and chop the cheese on a grater. Pour all the ingredients into a common container, add corn and beans. To mix everything. Season with mayonnaise and, if desired, garnish with green leaves. The salad is ready to serve.
Bon Appetit!
