You can find a huge number of salads for the New Year's table! But I want something new and interesting. For example, lettuce "Men's joy." There are several variations of this dish. However, this is usually called those salads that combine hearty ingredients or are different in spiciness. Therefore, they can be prepared as an appetizer for a strong drink or as a main course. However, the girls are not far behind men and are happy to try these new products. In any case, everyone will be satisfied and well-fed!
Salad with Radish and Meat
For this salad, the ingredients can be taken in arbitrary quantities. Someone likes more satisfying, and someone with a lot of vegetables. It is necessary to prepare:
- beef;
- onion;
- fresh radish;
- dill;
- Bay leaf;
- peppercorns;
- salt and pepper;
- mayonnaise or sour cream.
The whole secret is in boiled meat. Beef is cut in layers and sent to the water. Before that, it is worth adding here the bay leaf and peppercorns. Then the meat will acquire a pleasant aftertaste, which gives the salad its personality.
Then everything is very simple. Radish should be cut in circles, but thinly. Peel the onion, cut in half rings and pour boiling water for a minute. Then drain the water. This simple action will help remove the bitterness, and the onion will become sweet and juicy. Another option: onions can be fried until brown with a little oil. However, then the salad will be fatter.
Beef is simply pulled into fibers. Dill chopped finely. It is better to take a large bunch so that he gives all his flavor to the dish. Now all the ingredients are mixed. However, this should only be done when the beef has cooled down! You can salt and pepper the salad “Men's joy”, and then season with mayonnaise or sour cream. You can also use natural yogurt or low-calorie dressing.
Dressing for any salad
Salad "Men's joy" can be much more useful if you replace high-calorie mayonnaise with a tasty, but healthy dressing. To do this, take:
- yogurt without additives;
- garlic - a couple of cloves;
- fresh herbs to taste;
- salt - a pair of pinch;
- adjika.
First, you need to salt and leave the yogurt for a while. Now you can peel the garlic and grate it. This mass is sent to yogurt. It is also put to taste and adjika. The more it is in the sauce, the sharper the dressing will be, and the “Male Joy” salad itself. Greens should be cut as small as possible and also put in the base for the sauce. Mix everything. Before you add dressing to the salad, you need to let it brew for at least twenty minutes in the refrigerator.
