Many people are used to preparing salads only according to a recipe, trying not to deviate from the specified norms and rules.
We also have beliefs about what ingredients can be used within a given dish.
However, with the help of unexpected ingredients, even the simplest vegetable salad will become more delicious, healthy and filling, says Yulia Tychino, an expert on culinary issues at the BelNovosti online publication.
What supplement options should you consider?
Seeds and nuts
These ingredients will be appropriate when preparing absolutely any salad. In some stores you can even find special salad mixes made from nuts and seeds.
An excellent option would be to introduce pine nuts. Sesame, pumpkin, sunflower, chia and flax seeds will transform the vegetable salad.
Tofu or cream cheese
The first option is ideal for those who are trying to reduce the amount of animal protein in the body: this cheese is of plant origin.
But cottage cheese can be used in all other cases.
Spices
Not only pepper and salt can become components for a vegetable salad. The dish will be transformed thanks to a small amount of chili.
Curry powder goes well with fresh vegetables.
Introducing turmeric or ginger would also be an excellent solution.
