Simple cherry salad with sour cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a simple cherry salad with sour cream? This is the simplest salad with the minimum amount of ingredients. I often cook it in spring and early summer, when the harvest season is underway, then the cherry is especially juicy, with a bright garlic taste and aroma. At other times of the year, you can use frozen.

2. Step 2:

   

   The collected or purchased wild cherry should be soaked for 5-10 minutes in cool water. Then rinse under running water, peeling the burgundy film from the root part. Let the water drain and dry with a towel. Wild cherry, wild grass, there are always soil residues on it, so do not neglect the preliminary preparation because there will be no heat treatment.

3. Step 3:

   

   From early wild cherry, only the stem is used in the salad until the leaves grow, this is the most fleshy and juicy part. Update the cut, finely chop the rest of the stem. Do not throw away the leaf, it also contains a lot of vitamins, mineral supplements and essential oils. It is better to freeze it and use it later.

5. Step 4:

   

   Put the greens in a deep salad bowl, add salt to taste and season with sour cream. Take any sour cream, I like up to 15%, it is easy to disperse and not liquid, from 20% thick for my taste.

6. Step 5:

   

   Mix the salad thoroughly. You can serve it immediately or keep it in the refrigerator for a while, then you definitely need to cover it.

7. Step 6:

   

   Can be served in a nice large salad bowl or in portions. Wild cherry, like any greens, the longer it stands, the more juice it will be. But it's okay, it's a salad for every day, not for a festive serving. And yet, cook a small portion so that it is eaten immediately, so it looks presentable and benefits more.
