This salad turns out to be very satisfying and tasty, but at the same time it is great for a healthy diet.
Salad with carrots and cabbage
We offer you to familiarize yourself with a simple salad recipe that can be prepared in just 10 minutes. Finely chop the cabbage, peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Then wash the apples, peel them and grate them on a finer grater. Add a little greenery to vegetables and fruits of your choice and season the dish with olive oil. A little more salt and pepper and you can put the salad on the festive table.
Salmon salad
Among the various salads, we suggest paying attention to the option of salmon, spinach, fresh radish and pomegranate seeds. First, cut a piece of lightly salted salmon fillet into thin slices, then wash the radish and cut it into thin circles. Rinse the spinach under water, remove the stems and add to the above ingredients. Then peel half of the pomegranate and extract the seeds, which will become a spicy salad note. Season the dish with a sauce of olive oil, herbs and salt, if desired, add pieces of avocado.
