– Chinese cabbage – 200g

- mayonnaise - for salad dressing

- fine table salt

Cooking

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad. Due to the fact that they are all multi-colored, the salad is bright and appetizing.

First cut the cucumbers. I try to choose young, small in size. Before dicing, I recommend peeling the skin if the cucumbers are purchased. If you take cucumbers from your own garden, then you can not be afraid of nitrates, and therefore do not clean them!

2. Pre-defrost crab sticks, taking them out of the package. On principle, I do not buy this product by weight, as I believe that vacuum packaging provides the necessary antibacterial protection during storage. Cut the sticks into small pieces.

3. Then finely chop the Chinese cabbage. There is no need to crush it additionally, otherwise it will lose juice and will not be pleasantly crunchy in a salad.

4. Next, combine all the ingredients in a salad bowl, adding canned corn. Season with mayonnaise and salt to taste. I prefer a light version of this salad, so I always use low fat homemade mayonnaise. You can replace mayonnaise with sour cream, it's also very tasty. Mix the contents of the salad bowl, salt and eat fresh

Cucumber salad for the winter can also be prepared from your own preserves, but if they are already over by the summer, you can almost always find the right ingredients at the local market.

Let's start making the vinaigrette:

Beets need to be cooked for a long time until fully cooked (you can check this by gently piercing it with a knife when cooking, if the knife enters very easily, the beets are already ready) and wait until it is completely cooled;
We do the same with potatoes and carrots (you can cook them even in one saucepan);

Cucumbers are finely cut into cubes, you should put them in a colander and wait until the excess liquid drains;
Rinse the cabbage from the brine and also finely chop;
We cut carrots, potatoes and beets into small approximately equal cubes;
We mix all our ingredients in a deep comfortable salad bowl, lightly add and season with oil.

Crispy and hearty salad with cucumbers and chicken fillet

This cucumber salad is very easy to prepare and will serve perfectly as a main dish, as it includes chicken fillet. Despite the fact that the dish itself is quite satisfying, it is quite light, as it is seasoned not with mayonnaise, but with a special dressing.

The only thing that is included in the composition is a white loaf, so you should not eat too much salad, or you can try replacing the loaf with a more dietary option, the main thing is that it be crispy and fresh. The complete 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.

Additionally, for refueling, you will need:

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

Now let's move on to the preparation of our delicious and satisfying salad. The fillet must be boiled in advance until fully cooked (about 20 minutes after boiling) and cool. Cut the meat into thin strips or can be disassembled 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 a light gilded color. Cucumbers cut into strips, onions into half rings (to remove the typical bitterness inherent in onions, pour boiling water over it for 10 minutes, and then rinse in cold water). Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

Now that all the main ingredients for the salad are prepared, you need to make the dressing. We mix vegetable oil, salt, freshly ground pepper, vinegar and add crushed garlic or grated garlic on a fine grater. Tear the lettuce leaves into small pieces with your hands. Add cucumbers, fillets, cheese, onions, croutons and dressing to a convenient deep salad bowl. If the salad is not served immediately on the table, it is recommended to wait and not add crackers, as they will get soaked, but it is necessary that a crispy and dryish taste remain.
