When oil is not suitable for salad dressing: how not to make a mistake and not ruin the dish
It is impossible to imagine your diet without a variety of salads.
Many housewives add cheese, meat, beans, croutons and other ingredients to vegetable appetizers.
Mayonnaise or vegetable oil is most often used to dress salads. However, not everyone knows about the benefits and harms of such dressings.
Salad dressings
Mayonnaise dressings are considered heavy and high in calories, and have been actively abandoned recently. Vegetable oil dressings are considered an alternative. But there are nuances here too.
It is not contraindicated to dress salads with vegetable oil. However, it would not hurt to first look at the ingredients from which the dish is prepared.
Some products contain up to 50% fat, and this applies even to plant-based products. This figure will increase sharply if you season your salad with vegetable oil. It is not far from problems with the pancreas if the organ is constantly overloaded with excessive amounts of fat.
If the salad contains seeds, avocado or olives, it is not advisable to use vegetable oil. These products already contain a large amount of fat.
Healthy food lovers can use low-fat sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, herbs and spices as an alternative. The dish will not suffer from such a replacement, and salads and appetizers will become even tastier.
