Many cooks prepare Olivier and vinaigrette incorrectly: here's what to do with vegetables
Many gourmets value vinaigrette not only for its bright taste and ease of preparation, but also for its health benefits.
However, salad ingredients can lose nutrients if not processed properly.
Unfortunately, many amateur cooks choose a not entirely correct approach to preparing a dish.
So, vegetables are usually boiled in water. It would seem that this is how it should be. However, if we are talking about a salad, then it is advisable to steam the ingredients.
To do this, you need to use a steamer or a saucepan with a specially installed mesh. There is another interesting option - a multicooker plus a sieve container.
By the way, it is advisable to use these devices and accessories when making not only vinaigrette, but also Olivier salad.
Why Vegetables Should Be Steamed
It's very simple. Potatoes and beets cooked in steam retain their useful substances. First of all, we are talking about vitamins.
The presence of properly processed ingredients in the vinaigrette is a guarantee that the salad will bring maximum benefit to the body.
And if steamed potatoes become one of the ingredients of Olivier, the salad will be less “heavy”.
This festive dish will be more dietary, despite the presence of mayonnaise.
