Salad with French mustard tomatoes and cucumbers

Dijon or grain mustard appeared for the first time in France. It consists of seeds of brown or black mustard, used mainly for sauces, seasonings and salad dressings.
Has a rich taste, which makes salads more vibrant and delicious.

To prepare a vegetable salad with French mustard, you will need a minimum of effort and very little time.
This salad option will diversify your daily menu, saturating the body with vitamins and useful substances. And due to cottage cheese, the salad will also become satisfying, which is perfect for a full dinner.

So, we'll wash all the vegetables well.
Let's put the salad in the salad bowl in layers, so it looks more beautiful.
Let's dry the iceberg with paper towels to get rid of excess water. Cut the leaves into strips or squares - as you like. Put the first layer in the salad bowl.
Then cut the cucumber and tomato into slices. Add to the salad bowl.
The next layer will make sweet bell pepper cut into half rings or rings. For contrast, you can use green or yellow colors.
Next add the onion, sliced with feathers. Onions are best taken red, white or shallots. These varieties have a milder taste, there is no such bitterness as from ordinary onions and are ideal for salads.
Prepare the dressing: mix in a separate container 1 tablespoon of French mustard, vegetable or olive oil and juice of freshly squeezed lemon or lime. Mix everything well.

Put coarse-grained cottage cheese on the salad with the top layer, add salt, and pour mustard dressing on top as evenly as possible.
Sprinkle with any fresh herbs to taste, for example dill and parsley, and pepper if desired.
Before eating, let's mix the salad well and try again for salt.

This salad is very tasty with a crust of freshly baked bread. And what a fragrant and mind-blowing juice remains at the bottom of the salad bowl!

If you exclude cottage cheese from the ingredients, then the salad can be safely served with chicken, cutlets, potatoes and even kebabs.
Try it and you will definitely like it.
Bon appetit!
