Introduction
\nNot all salads can create a \u201cwow\u201d effect after the first bite. But this is a completely different story. Its taste is so balanced that it can create dependence, in the positive sense of the term. The freshness of vegetables, creamy sauce and crispy seasonings make it difficult to stop eating them. Perfect for parties, family dinners, packed lunches or just\u2026 because you feel like it.<\/p>\n
Ingredients:
\n(portion for 4 people)<\/p>\n
1 fresh cucumber<\/p>\n
1 red pepper<\/p>\n
1 yellow pepper<\/p>\n
1 small red onion<\/p>\n
200 g of cooked chicken or smoked tofu (optional)<\/p>\n
150 g feta cheese or mozzarella balls<\/p>\n
2 handfuls of arugula or mixed salad<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup of canned corn<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
\nSauce: sale and sale:<\/p>\n
3 tablespoons of natural yogurt<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise<\/p>\n
1 clove of garlic, pressed with a press<\/p>\n
1 teaspoon of mustard<\/p>\n
Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n
A few drops of lemon juice<\/p>\n
Method of preparation:<\/p>\n
Wash the vegetables well and cut into cubes. To soften the flavor, you can burn the onion with boiling water in advance.<\/p>\n
If you use chicken, cut it into cubes or tear it apart. The vegetarian version? Even smoked tofu works great!<\/p>\n
Put all the ingredients in a large bowl.<\/p>\n
In a separate bowl, prepare the sauce: mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, lemon, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Pour the dressing on the salad and stir gently until all ingredients are well blended.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n
Suggestions to serve and store:
\nIt is recommended to serve it cold: store it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n
Store in an airtight container in a refrigerator: up to 2 days.<\/p>\n
Do not add the dressing to the salad in advance if you plan to eat it later: the vegetables may release water.<\/p>\n
Variants:<\/p>\n
Spicy version: add a pinch of chopped chili or a drop of sriracha sauce with the seasoning.<\/p>\n
With pasta: add a handful of butterfly paste or cooked feathers for a more substantial version.<\/p>\n
For a sweet and savory dish: add a handful of pomegranate or raisins for a contrast of flavors.<\/p>\n
With an oriental touch: replace the mayonnaise with tahina and parsley with coriander.<\/p>\n
