This salad is non-nutritious (in 100 gr. - 141 kcal), but at the same time quite satisfying, since it contains chicken and eggs. If you want to lose weight or just control your weight, this salad is perfect for a light dinner. It already contains all the necessary ingredients for a full meal: protein, fiber, healthy fat.

What about carbohydrates, you ask? Carbohydrates are needed in the morning, so if you eat such a salad for lunch, be sure to add a side dish to it (porridge, durum pasta, legumes). This salad is suitable for those people who eat right and take care of their health. Let's start cooking.

Ingredients:

• boiled chicken fillet - 200 gr.
• fresh cucumber - 180 gr.
• boiled eggs - 3-4 pcs. (depends on the size)

Step by step preparation of a delicious salad without mayonnaise.

1. First you need to boil the chicken and eggs. To make the chicken breast juicy, soft and not hard, put it in boiling water. When meat is laid in hot water, protein in upper layers curdles quickly, thus blocking the juice inside. And the meat will not be dry. Do not salt the chicken at first cooking, as well to keep it juicy. But you can add spices to the water: allspice, peas and others to taste. Cook for 25-30 minutes, season with salt 5 minutes until tender.

2. Fill the eggs cold water and cook for 8-10 minutes after boiling water. This will make the yolk cool.

3. Cut the boiled chicken into cubes or strips, put in a salad bowl. Cut the cucumbers in the same way and send them to the chicken.

4. Remove the yolk from one egg and place in a bowl. Cut the rest of the eggs into cubes or pass through an egg cutter. Cut the carrots into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Chop the green onion finely, but do not add to the rest of the food.

5. Now it remains to prepare the dressing. Mash the yolk with mustard, salt and black pepper. Add olive oil and mix well. Put the prepared dressing in a salad bowl and mix with the main ingredients. Sprinkle salad with green onions and you can eat. The onion is not mixed with the rest of the food, so that it does not let out the juice, and the salad does not become bitter.

6. The salad turns out to be healthy, tasty, satisfying and easy to prepare. Bon Appetit!

• honey - 1 tablespoon
• vegetable oil for frying - 80 ml
• salt - 1 tablespoon
• greens (parsley, cilantro) - 4 tablespoons

A method of preparing a salad in Korean.

1. You need to start the salad with the preparation of eggplants. Wash the eggplants and cut them in half lengthways. Then cut it in half across. Now cut each piece into long strips so that there is a skin on each piece. Place the chopped eggplants in a colander and place in a bowl. Salt the eggplants and mix well, while pressing down a little. Our task is to get rid of excess juice, which will flow into the substituted bowl.

2. Cover the eggplant with a plate, pressing down slightly. Leave the vegetables for 1-2 hours.

3. After 2 hours, the eggplants will start juicing. Put a paper towel on a plate, put the eggplants, blot well with another towel on top to dehydrate the vegetables as much as possible. Sometimes eggplants are squeezed by hand, but this is how juiciness and vitamins are lost.

4. While the eggplants are salting, prepare the rest of the vegetables. Grate carrots for Korean carrots. If there is no such grater, then cut into very thin strips. Cut the bell peppers into strips. Pepper will look beautiful in the salad different colors... Chop the onion into half rings, finely chop the garlic and herbs.

5. Cut hot red pepper into squares. Take the amount of hot pepper to taste. Perhaps in your family someone does not like the spicy, and someone, on the contrary, even loves it very much. In this case, hot peppers can be put in portions.

6. Preheat the pan very well so that the heat comes out from it. Pour in cooking oil. Place the eggplants again on a paper towel and squeeze a little by hand. Eggplants that have lost their juice well enough take much less oil when frying.

7. Fry the eggplants over high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Place the eggplants in a single layer in the pan, so you will likely need to bookmark 2 times. The eggplants will turn out half-finished, as it should be. Then they are still marinated.

8. Put the eggplants in a salad bowl. Pour some vegetable oil into a preheated pan, put ground coriander and black pepper in the oil. Add chopped hot peppers to them. Fry a little and add onions to them. Saute the onion over high heat for 1 minute until it softens slightly. You do not need to fry it. Add carrots to the onion, stir and fry for another 1 minute.

9. Onions with carrots should only be impregnated with the aromas of spices and softened a little. You do not need to fry them, they will also marinate later.

10. Now put all the ingredients in a salad bowl: eggplant, carrots with onions, bell peppers, garlic (to taste), herbs, toasted sesame seeds. Season the salad with vinegar, honey, and soy sauce. Stir and taste with salt and spices. Add vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper as needed. Cover the salad with a plate, press down a little and refrigerate for a few hours (at least 4) to marinate.

11. Here is such an elegant, aromatic and tasty salad. Suitable as an appetizer for a festive table or a vegetable salad for dinner. Do not be lazy to cook and you will not regret it.

New Year's salads without mayonnaise

Not everyone can celebrate a family holiday and do without a feast. If you are losing weight, I suggest that you do not give up your usual dishes, but replace them with more useful ones, you will see that no one can distinguish New Year's traditional salads without mayonnaise from the original!

Agree, it is simply impossible to completely remove dressing in salads such as herring under a fur coat or Olivier. They will become dry, and the abundance of ingredients needs to be tied together with something. I offer three options:

• natural yogurt;
• sour cream;
• homemade mayonnaise.

If we are already familiar with the first two dressings, then I will now introduce you to a useful variety of sauce. I will only add that choose both sour cream and yogurt with a low percentage of fat. By the way, herring under a fur coat will become much tastier if you smear its layers with sour cream, to which chopped pickles and dill are added.

Homemade mayonnaise

In a blender, mix a couple of tablespoons of sour cream, Dijon mustard (1 small spoon), the juice of a quarter of a lemon, 1 small spoonful of olive oil, a pinch of salt. I also do not recommend overusing this variation of the sauce, although it is much more useful than the store one.

Healthy Salad Recipes

And finally, I will show you a few more recipes for healthy salads, so that you definitely have no doubts that mayonnaise is easy and simple to remove from the diet.

With persimmon

Cut 1 medium persimmon into small wedges. Add to it: ½ avocado (diced), red onion (small onion diced), 3 cherry tomatoes (cut into 4 pieces), tear a bunch of spinach.

Dressing: 1 small spoonful of olive oil + 5 ml of wine vinegar + a pinch of salt + black pepper.

Caprese

Sauce: warm up in a separate container 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar and ½ tsp. Sahara.

Rub the chicken breast thoroughly with a mixture of salt and pepper, fry. Cut into slices. Add to it half an avocado (thin slices), 100 g mozzarella (slices), cherry tomatoes (cut 3 pieces into quarters). Add romano salad and basil as herbs. By the way, traditional caprese, which is one of the most popular restaurant salads, is made without chicken, but it will add nutritional value and will not spoil the taste at all.

Fruit salad
