Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad of dried tomatoes? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Dried tomatoes can be purchased or homemade, it's not critical. I recommend taking salad onions, red. Choose any cheese to your taste, I have parmesan. Olives can be replaced with olives, take not green, but black.
Step 2:
Remove the olives from the brine and dry. Cut each olive in half. Wash and dry the arugula. Remove the dried tomatoes from the oil and dry them too.
Step 3:
Parmesan or any other hard cheese cut into thin petals. I did it with a fish cleaning knife. If you don't want to cut the cheese into pieces, you can grate it on a grater.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into strips. Cut the arugula, too, or cut it into smaller pieces with your hands. Dried tomatoes can be added whole or sliced.
Step 5:
In a suitable salad bowl, combine chopped arugula, olives, dried tomatoes and onions.
Step 6:
Prepare the products for the dressing sauce. Instead of balsamic vinegar, you can take any table vinegar. Or completely replace vinegar with lemon juice. Instead of olive oil, you can use any other vegetable oil. If you don't want to add sugar to the salad, replace it with something or remove it altogether.
Step 7:
In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and sugar.
Step 8:
Mix the sauce well.
Step 9:
Pour the salad with the prepared dressing sauce.
Step 10:
Mix all the ingredients well, evenly distributing the dressing.
Step 11:
Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Sprinkle it with parmesan slices on top.
How much I love Italian cuisine - words cannot convey. Along with quite hearty and pasta-type dishes, you can also find very light salads and desserts in it. If in the heat you do not want to stand at the stove and steam in an already heated room, such salads are simply irreplaceable.
In my opinion, this salad is moderately balanced and it can be attributed to PP recipes. There is nothing heavy in it (except for the sugar in the composition, but you can easily refuse it). Olives and parmesan saturate well. If you basically eat in small portions and not so often, this salad can easily and usefully have lunch or a hearty dinner. In addition, you can reduce the amount of calories by adding less cheese or olives and, conversely, more arugula.
So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
It is important to realize that there are no recipes or products in nature that are certainly useful to all people or unconditionally harmful to everyone. As with medicines, and in nutrition, there are indications and contraindications, daily individual consumption rates, and for most people all this is very personalized. At the same time, there are a lot of myths “about proper nutrition” (for example: fat is bad), which distort the very essence of this concept and in such a distorted form are distributed on the Internet and the media. Therefore, remember that any “PP recipe” will be related to proper nutrition only conditionally, it should not be perceived as a dogma. And even if the author of the recipe, a “healthy nutrition specialist” or a nutritionist and fitness trainer calls something useful (PP) or harmful, it may not be so for you personally.
The opinion of the site administration about proper nutrition may not coincide with the opinion of the author of the PP recipe!
