Description

Grated cucumber salad for the winter Even though it is made from the simplest ingredients, it still turns out so tasty that you will lick your fingers. In addition to cucumbers, it also contains onions, which, after canning, lose all their bitterness and acquire a new delicate taste. Cucumber salad will be no less tasty if you add carrots to it. Thus, the preparation will be transformed not only in taste, but also in appearance. Bright green cucumbers together with chopped carrots always look very beautiful and harmonious.

The value of this delicious salad of canned fresh cucumbers is that all its components simply fit together perfectly. Garlic gives the salad an amazing piquant aroma, onion makes it much juicier and more expressive, ground black pepper gives our cucumber dish a slight spicy note. It must be said that such preservation can also be prepared using spices such as suneli hops, cloves and coriander. These components will only enhance the aroma of the product and thereby make it more appetizing. If it seems to you that regular ground pepper is not enough to add spiciness to the salad, you can supplement it with grated horseradish. So, at home you will prepare just such a tasty and suitable canned food for the winter, which you will definitely be very delighted with.

So, we suggest you pay attention to the step-by-step recipe below with photo examples and, together with us, start preparing the most delicious salad for the winter from fresh cucumbers and onions.

Ingredients

Steps

You can prepare the salad we offer at home from both overgrown cucumbers and ordinary small ones. However, if the vegetable assortment contains vegetables such as overgrown cucumbers, then in this case it is better to use them.



So, prepare your vegetables. You need to cut off all the peel from cucumbers. A thin layer can be separated with a special vegetable peeler. Then the fruits should be divided in half and separated from the seeds. If this is not done, then the coarse cucumber seeds will be distributed throughout the salad, which will ultimately ruin it.



Next, grate the peeled cucumbers on a Korean carrot grater. Of course, you can cut them into slices and cubes, but long cucumber straws look much more appetizing. By the way, if the vegetables have not been separated from the seeds, then you only need to grate them to the middle; you can see how to do this in the photo below.



Now bring the onions to the desired condition. After separating the husk, grind it into thin rings or half rings.



Also peel the garlic from the top layer, then squeeze it through a press or grate it on a fine grater.



Place chopped cucumbers, garlic and onions in one large container. Afterwards, add granulated sugar and salt to the resulting vegetable mixture. Move everything carefully.



Add ground black pepper and the previously mentioned additional spices as desired to the cucumber preparation.



Following the spices, add nine percent vinegar to the vegetables. Adding this component in the amount of eight tablespoons is only necessary if the future salad is being prepared for the winter and subsequently it will be preserved in jars.



Then pour vegetable oil over the vegetable mixture. In this case, it is recommended to use unrefined sunflower. In addition to the fact that the future cucumber salad will be healthier, with the addition of unrefined sunflower oil it will also be much more aromatic.



Mix the resulting vegetable mixture with spices thoroughly, then put it in the refrigerator for two hours. During infusion, the preparation will be replenished with a large amount of juice, which is subsequently preserved for the winter along with the salad.



After the specified time, remove the product from the refrigerator and package it along with the juice into previously prepared jars. Afterwards, cover the glass with boiled lids and send it for sterilization in a container with water.



Remove the sterilized jars from the pan, wipe with a towel and roll up well. Then be sure to turn the canning upside down and cover with a blanket. The original salad of grated cucumbers is ready for the winter!



Bon appetit!

Cucumbers, popularly called emerald vegetables, are simply a valuable storehouse of nutrients. At the same time, such a product is very dietary and can be consumed unlimitedly without harm to the figure.

Cucumber is an excellent source of iodine, which is easily absorbed by the body. This product is most beneficial due to its potassium content, which is necessary for the functioning of the heart and kidneys. Eating cucumbers is extremely important for maintaining proper metabolism. It is not recommended for those who have problems with high stomach acidity, ulcers in the stomach and duodenum.

Cucumber salad should become an integral part of the diet of any athlete who consumes protein in increased quantities, because fiber contributes to the normal absorption of any protein food. Therefore, salads with cucumbers or just vegetables alone go very well with meat dishes. You can also prepare salad options that are perfect as a separate hearty dish.

Cooking cucumber salad with cheese

There is nothing easier and faster to prepare than cucumber salad. But if you add a little of your favorite cheese, the taste will not be ordinary at all, but very interesting and pleasant. For this recipe you need a few ingredients:

• 200 g of fresh cucumbers (about 2-3 pcs.);
• Hard cheese – 400 g;

Preparing this cucumber salad with cheese couldn’t be easier: cut the cheese into small slices (cubes, grate on a coarse grater), cut washed and peeled apples into slices, cucumbers into small cubes. Mix everything, season and serve immediately before the dish loses its vitamins.

Orange-cucumber salad

We can immediately say that the taste of this dish is quite unusual, but it will appeal to all fans of fresh and aromatic salads with citrus notes. To prepare orange-cucumber salad for 1 serving, prepare the following products:

• A fourth to a fifth of an orange;
• Half a long cucumber;
• Juice from half an orange;
• 2 tbsp. l. red wine vinegar;
• 1 tbsp. l. mint;
• Olive oil – a few tbsp. l.;
• Black pepper, salt - to taste.

Let's start by peeling the oranges and dividing them into segments (the fruits need to be peeled over a bowl, since the draining juice will be useful for dressing). Place the chopped orange in a salad bowl. Now cut the cucumber and send it to the oranges as well. Let's start preparing the dressing:

• Combine orange juice with vinegar;
• Add mint, salt, pepper;
• Beat with a fork and, without stopping whisking, pour in a little olive oil.

The salad should be poured with dressing before serving, mix everything and decorate with a mint leaf on top. This recipe is sure to wow your guests or family at dinner.

Fragrant cucumber salad with toasted sesame seeds

This cucumber and tomato salad is not only super healthy, but also incredibly flavorful. Perfect to complement any meat dish or as a completely dietary snack for those watching their figure. Let's prepare the following list of products (for 1 serving):

• Cucumber – 1 pc.;
• Tomato – 1 pc.;
• Salad sauce with Roquefort cheese - to taste;
• A pinch of salt;
• Sesame grains – 1 tbsp. l.

First, fry the sesame seeds, this should be done in a dry frying pan over low heat, until lightly gilded and a pleasant aroma appears. Then, without peeling the cucumber, first cut lengthwise, then in half again, remove the seeds and then cut into thin slices. Cut the tomatoes into quarters.

Lightly add chopped cucumbers and tomatoes and wait until they release juice, which needs to be drained. After that, add the sauce to the vegetables and put everything on a salad bowl, garnish with fried sesame seeds. Serve immediately after cooking, before the salad has drained and the sesame seeds have softened.

Winter recipe for vinaigrette with pickled or pickled cucumbers

Cucumber salad for the winter can be prepared according to the classic vinaigrette recipe. This is a favorite dish for many in the winter, since its preparation requires completely affordable and simple ingredients, but it is served cool and therefore can be enjoyed deliciously even in the summer. Let's prepare the following vegetables and products for dressing:

• Pickled or pickled cucumbers at your discretion – 200 g;
• Beetroot – 400 g;
• Potatoes – 400 g;
• Carrots – 300 g;
• Sauerkraut – 200 g;
• Onion – 150 g;
• Salt and vegetable oil for dressing.

Cabbage for vinaigrette can be easily fermented both in summer and in winter - in summer it is prepared even faster. You can also prepare cucumber salad for the winter from your own canned goods, but if they are already gone by summer, you can almost always find the necessary ingredients at the local market.

Let's start preparing the vinaigrette:

• The beets need to be cooked for quite a long time until they are completely cooked (you can check this by carefully piercing them with a knife during cooking; if the knife goes in very easily, the beets are already ready) and wait until they are completely cooled;
• We do the same with potatoes and carrots (you can even cook them in the same saucepan);
• It is recommended to first cut the onion into rings, pour boiling water over it for a couple of minutes and only then finely chop it (this will remove the excess bitterness and pungent smell). For the vinaigrette, you can use either regular onion or blue - at your discretion;
• Finely cut the cucumbers into cubes; place them in a colander and wait until the excess liquid drains;
• The cabbage needs to be washed from the brine and also finely chopped;
• Cut carrots, potatoes and beets into small, approximately equal cubes;
• Mix all our ingredients in a deep, comfortable salad bowl, add a little salt and season with oil.

This cucumber salad for winter or summer can be served some time after preparation; it even becomes tastier when it sits in the refrigerator for several hours.

Crispy and satisfying salad with cucumbers and chicken fillet

This cucumber salad is very easy to prepare and works great as a main course because it contains chicken. Despite the fact that the dish itself is quite filling, it is quite light, since it is seasoned not with mayonnaise, but with a special dressing.

The only thing is that it contains a white loaf, so you shouldn’t eat too much salad, or you can try replacing the loaf with a more dietary option, the main thing is that it is crispy and fresh. The full list of ingredients is as follows:

• White loaf – 200 g;
• Chicken fillet – 250 g;
• Cheese of any preferred hard variety – 150 g;
• Fresh cucumbers – 300 g;
• Onion – 150 g;
• Green leaf lettuce - a small bunch.

For refueling you will also need:

• Vegetable oil – 4 tbsp. l.;
• Garlic – 3 cloves;
• Six percent vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.;
• Pepper and salt are standard according to your taste.

Now let's move on to preparing our delicious and satisfying salad. The fillet must be boiled in advance until fully cooked (about 20 minutes after boiling) and cooled. Cut the meat into thin strips or you can separate it into fibers directly with your hands. Carefully cut the loaf into cubes so as not to crumble and fry in a small amount of vegetable oil until lightly golden brown.
