On pre-holiday days, in addition to the fuss associated with preparation, some people are puzzled by their physical forms, so the decision is made: diet! The desire to lose weight in the short term by the holiday for some results in a complete loss of strength due to malnutrition, although fast weight loss is mainly done in two ways: removing excess water from the body and cleansing the intestines. Only a few people know that an elderly person who does not monitor his health can carry up to 15 kilograms of fecal stones, waste and other waste products of the body. It is for such a cleaning that vegetable salads without mayonnaise are ideal, which can cleanse the intestines as soon as possible.
The article provides several useful recipes (with photos) for a diet of carrot salad in combination with other vegetables that will come to the rescue without causing side effects in a person.

Boiled Vegetable Salad
Unfortunately, for many people the digestive system is very weakened by poor nutrition, so even trying to change something and take the right path leads to even greater problems with the stomach and intestines. Fiber from raw vegetables cleans the walls of these organs so much that if there is irritation of the mucous membrane, gastritis, or ulcer, then the problem may increase. Therefore, it is recommended in such cases to cook a more gentle option: a diet salad of boiled carrots and beets. Thanks to the heat treatment, the fiber of vegetables softens, reducing the cleaning effect.

Peel the onion, cut into four slices and chop each very finely, and then marinate them in a mixture of sugar and vinegar for 8-10 minutes. Grind nuts to a fine crumb. Combine all the ingredients in one dish, salt and pour oil, mix gently and let the dish brew for ten minutes, and then you can eat it.
Fruit and carrot salad for children
The recipe for dietary salad in vegetable oil is rarely welcomed by children, so it is more difficult to instill a love of healthy food in them. Given that children do not like carrots at all, the situation is almost stalemate. In such cases, you can make a small concession without losing the obvious benefit of the dish, and prepare a salad with yogurt as a sauce instead of vegetable oil. What is required for this:

- 1-2 tbsp. l yogurt without additives;
- a few drops of lemon juice;
- 1 tbsp. l pomegranate seeds.

Peel carrots and apples, cut into strips, drizzle with lemon juice and pour over yogurt, mix and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. If you wish, you can add very few walnuts, this will add to the dish useful properties. The calorie content of such a dish does not exceed 50 calories (one-hundred-serving portion), therefore it is also used by those who want to lose weight.
Korean carrot salad
For many people, vegetable salads in vegetable oil seem too fresh, tasteless, so even having tried, they reject them with rejection, or flavored with a generous portion of mayonnaise, trying to change the taste. In the diet, this is unacceptable, but to make the food more tasteful, you can go for a trick and use Korean carrots. Dietary salad will not suffer from this, but will acquire new, spicy notes. To prepare you will need:
- 2-3 beets with a total weight of 400 grams;
- one large carrot (150 grams);
- 3-4 tbsp. l vegetable oil;
- 1 tbsp. l light sesame;
- 15 grams of seasoning for Korean carrots or suneli hops;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- 1 tbsp. l vinegar
- a pinch of sugar and salt.
Peel the vegetables and grate them on a special grater for Korean carrots - an ordinary grater is not good. Arrange the finished slices in a wide bowl, sprinkle with a mixture of salt, sugar and spices and gently crush with your hands so that the vegetables are well soaked. Chop the garlic and add to the vegetables. In a small bowl, warm the oil, combine with vinegar and sesame seeds, pour the salad with this mixture and mix with a spoon. Allow to stand for about ten minutes, so that the salad is enriched with taste, and then you can serve it on the table.
Cook's tip
To diversify the taste of this Korean-style dietary carrot salad, you can add 1 fresh cucumber to it. To do this, you need to grate it with a peel on a grater for Korean carrots and gently squeeze with your hands, removing excess fluid (which will be a lot).
Act carefully, as a long straw from cucumbers is very fragile. Mix it with salad and serve immediately. This version of the salad should not stand for a long time, otherwise it lets out too much juice and becomes less tasty.
Useful Tips
To make a simple carrot salad tastier and not bored with use every day, as the diet tells you, you should use a few small tricks in the cooking process.
- Use as a sauce not only vegetable oil, but also its combination with lemon or orange juice, a small amount of mustard and herbs. Do not underestimate the power of spices, because often they stimulate the metabolism, causing weight loss.
- If raw vegetables are poorly digested, and boiled ones do not bring the desired result, you can try to sprinkle the vegetable slices with boiling water (just do not cook!) For 1-2 minutes. Then recline in a colander, squeeze out excess liquid and then cook, as the recipe says. For many suffering from irritation of the intestinal mucosa, this option is salvation.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that all these recipes are good not only for maintaining the body in good shape, but for the digestive system in health.
