This iceberg salad with olive oil will be a real find for lovers of delicious, light and healthy food. It can be eaten with any diets without any fear. As you can understand from the name, the dish is based on iceberg salad (otherwise called "Ice Mountain"). This is a cross between tender cabbage and salad leaves, although it is closer to the latter. It is sweet, very healthy, contains a surprisingly small number of calories. Due to the high content of folic acid, it is recommended by doctors for pregnant women, nursing mothers and young children. Since lettuce leaves oxidize very quickly when they come into contact with metal, try not to cut it, but tear it into small pieces with your hands. By the way, such a salad can be stored in the refrigerator for a very long time (I mean both the finished dish and the vegetable itself).
In general, pick the salad leaves with clean hands, then sprinkle them with lemon juice, pour olive oil and salt with sea salt. That's all – it's so easy and quick to prepare a salad. A great addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
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!
