Salad "Catherine" - the basis for culinary creativity

Salad - this is not just a snack, whose duties include "warming up" the appetite in front of the main course. He became an independent dish for many. And it's not even that someone is too lazy to cook the main dish, but that you can prepare a hearty and tasty salad in a few minutes, and its qualities and nutritional content can be strongly argued with a hot lunch.

We offer you a salad "Catherine" for discussion. "For discussion" not because we want to hold a discussion on a given topic. No. We suggest you experiment on this topic. All that depends on us is a few ideas that we will gladly offer you, and you will need to try to cook, evaluate and, of course, choose the best.

Classic

The recipe for salad "Catherine" is simple to disgrace. It includes all the favorite mayonnaise like sauce, canned corn and cucumber, onion and mushrooms, fried in butter. "Zest", refreshing the whole taste, is the sweet Bulgarian pepper. That's all. All ingredients must be taken in the same volume, previously cut. Mix, put in a beautiful dish, add greens and enjoy. Bon Appetit.

Improvisation Lenten

And now the most interesting. Several recipes on a given topic, in which we will gladly change the ingredients to please yourself. The first improvisation will be an easy, low-calorie option. Salad "Catherine" (photo attached) will be a great help in the post.

To do this, you need to replace mayonnaise with vegetable oil and mustard. We suggest not frying mushrooms in butter, but adding boiled mushrooms (you can take canned from a can). The remaining components are unchanged. The principle of volume equality is also valid. That is, in order to prepare a salad "Catherine", you need to cut (if necessary) and mix:

- canned cucumbers;

- canned corn;

- canned champignons;

- sweet Bulgarian pepper.

Pour oil, add greens (onion, parsley and dill), mix.

Improvisation original

And now we offer you to prepare a salad "Catherine", focusing on the appearance of the prepared dish. That is, take not the grains of canned corn, but its small cobs. Also do the mushrooms (take whole), and with cucumbers (take the gherkins). There are enough canned goods on sale. Pepper must be taken in several colors and cut into large slices. Next is the process of serving the finished dish.

On a large dish, put in the center a small cup of mayonnaise, and around this sauce bowl, place a few handfuls of ingredients. Vegetables can be eaten in several ways. The first, the simplest: dip into the sauce you liked the vegetable (the principle of fondue). The second makes it possible for everyone to put on a serving plate what you want, and to the extent you want, pour mayonnaise and mix directly in your dishes.

Improvisation nourishing

The recipe for the salad "Catherine", proposed by us further, is supplemented with boiled noodles, which you must prepare separately. This option is considered warm, that is, it is served in a warm form, and not in a cooled one.

To do this, you need a large frying pan (so it's more convenient to mix the ingredients at the end) to fry some mushrooms. It is important mushrooms or other mushrooms that you have chosen, send to the scalded dishes in dry form. Oils do not pour a lot, just simply lubricate the surface.

When the products appear golden crust, reduce the heat, add a piece of butter and finely chopped onions. Lightly cook everything, add corn and cucumbers. Do not fry them! Your goal is to warm up, not more. At the end, add pieces of pepper and noodles. Give a little warm up, grease with mayonnaise and serve the salad "Catherine" on the table.

All the charm of these recipes is that you spend a minimum of time preparing, and the result will make a splash.
