Natural vitamins are not only healthy, but also tasty. Especially if you are not lazy, show a little imagination, and prepare a vegetable or fruit salad. For men, the good news is that a salad can be a complete hearty dish, and together with vitamins we can get a complete complex of vitamins. After all, many salads contain nuts, seafood, chicken, and they are often seasoned with olive oil, cream or sour cream, and it’s quite possible to chop wood on such a salad for half a day.

But since the topic of our article today is not firewood, but tasty and healthy food from the category of salads, we will dwell on the details, features and wonderful flavor combinations of such a culinary miracle as vitamin salad. Why a miracle? Such an incredible number of recipes fall under this category, and they contain an even greater variety of components, that it seems that someone has already combined everything with everything. But no, in fact, everyone has a chance to create their own masterpiece, the main thing is not to forget the recipe later.

Why do we need vitamin dishes?

A sign that the body does not have enough vitamins may be fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, dull hair and skin, brittle nails and a tendency to catch a cold from every draft. If this is at least to some extent true, then it’s time to saturate your body with vitamins. When selecting ingredients, you should take into account the seasonality of products. The richest vegetables and fruits will be those that grow in season. In the spring, for example, it is better to give preference to green onions, radishes, sorrel and wild garlic rather than citrus fruits that have lain in the warehouse for several months.

Advice: “The spring-summer period right up to late autumn should be the period when we stock up on vitamins and microelements for the cold period. Then no infections will be scary. And along with vitamins, it’s worth stocking up for the whole year with sunny optimism and the energy of all the elements, which is absorbed by fresh fruits, berries and vegetables.”

What vitamins can you get from salads?

Let’s say right away that a well-arranged salad is always preferable to individual products. For example, carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is fat-soluble, and therefore is much better absorbed if you eat carrots with vegetable oil. There are a great many such little tricks that mutually enhance the benefits and taste. In addition to traditional greens like parsley, cilantro, dill, spinach, arugula, etc., red beet tops (which have a sour, pungent taste) or radish greens can add an interesting piquant taste to your dish. In this simple way you can add a new, often unrecognizable taste to an already familiar recipe.

With the help of salads, you can saturate the body not only with vitamins, but also with fatty acids, fiber, microelements such as iodine, iron and many others. To maintain the amount of nutrients necessary for health, eat meals with fresh vegetables all year round, as regularly as possible. Only depending on the season the composition will change. In summer it’s more fruits, cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh herbs. In autumn it's time for cabbage and root vegetables. Each season is rich in its own way. And thanks to the fact that today you can buy any fruits and vegetables, you can prepare yourself a summer tropical salad at any time.

So, let's start analyzing popular and interesting recipes for vitamin salads, starting with the most universal category - vegetable salads.

Hearty salads

Let's move on to the “male” part of our article. Here we will look at recipes that are both vitamin-rich and nutritious.

The first one will be the recipe for the festive salad “Abundance”. Let’s be clear right away that this is not the easiest salad to digest, but it’s not an everyday dish either.

• a couple of smoked legs;
• 3-4 eggs;
• hard cheese 50-80 grams;
• apple;

Grind all the ingredients, grate the apples, pass the boiled eggs through an egg slicer. The salad should consist of successive layers, separated by a thin layer of mayonnaise. The first layer is chicken, then onions, eggs, apples, grated cheese, prunes.

Advice: “The salad needs to be given a little time to soak, for which we leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour.”

A lighter recipe, with a marine touch. Suitable for both men and women.

• half a kilo of shrimp;
• tomatoes 4-5 pieces;

An unusual salad recipe with a bright taste and “charged” composition.

• a bunch of parsley;
• a can of canned pineapple;

• juice of half a lemon;
• vegetable oil, salt, pepper to taste.

Shred the cabbage, add salt, and mash it with your hands to make it softer. Add chopped herbs (parsley). Next add the pineapple slices. Grate celery and cheese onto a coarse grater. Combine, mix, season, taste for salt and pepper. Serve on the table.

Advice: “It would be a good idea to remind you that seasonal vegetables, such as first cucumbers and radishes, should be consumed with caution, as they may contain a high content of nitrates, and it is better to wait for a flow of normal ground cucumbers. And it’s not for nothing that all recipes strongly indicate that you should tear lettuce with your hands, since the steel of the knife reacts with the lettuce itself, which is not particularly healthy for humans.”

Be well-fed and healthy, feel free to try and use your imagination, remember, the best recipe is a relative concept, the main thing is that you and your loved ones like the salad.

Vitamin vegetable salad is a simple tasty dish without which no meal should begin.

Vitamins and their benefits

The benefits of vitamins and microelements in our diet are indisputable and proven by modern science. Vegetables are useful for their low calorie content, biological value, and their positive effect on the entire digestive system. They contain vitamins C, K, group B, carotene, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and other trace elements. In their raw form, vegetables are much healthier and are better absorbed by the body. The fiber contained in them is necessary for good intestinal motility.

Flavoring and aromatic substances stimulate appetite and add variety to our table.

The right vitamin salad

Salads are prepared from raw vegetables and fruits: cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, white cabbage, apples and herbs. Beetroot salad has its own characteristics: it is most often prepared from boiled root vegetables. There should be a vitamin salad on the table all year round, the recipe of which can consist of just one vegetable or several “gifts of nature”. It can be served as an independent dish or as a side dish for meat, fish, and poultry. It is necessary to remember that salads are prepared before serving, and they are seasoned immediately before eating, as the appearance and taste of the dish will deteriorate.
