Winter salad cucumbers tomatoes - 16 cooking recipes

The hot time for homemade salad for the winter from cucumbers and tomatoes is mid-summer. When do these vegetables ripen in Russian gardens? When there are so many of them that you have to figure out where to put them and what to cook so special. When the same fruits are already waiting in the cellar, but marinated whole and separately.

The very name of the dish “salad” implies cutting. The hostess chooses exactly what it will be like. Small or large cubes, slices, half-slices, circles, straws - everything is suitable and looks great. In addition to the main ones, it is recommended to add onions and/or bell peppers to the appetizer.

Processing methods in recipes are also different. Vegetables can be completely raw, filled with brine or marinade. And they can be stewed, turning them into a kind of stew, which is essentially considered a salad. Twists with vegetables laid out in layers using color combinations can be very beautiful: red tomatoes, green cucumbers, yellow peppers, white onions. Looks great, you can show off to your guests)) Or even give a jar or two to friends for special merits

The classic preparation that most people follow is this.

Tomato slices, cucumber slices, onions (a quarter of a ring) and chopped herbs (dill, parsley - any favorite will do) are mixed in a large bowl.

This also includes: sugar, salt and vegetable oil.

The dishes are placed on the stove and brought to a boil.

Add vinegar. Let it simmer for three minutes. Afterwards we immediately roll them into jars. And don’t forget to wrap them in a warm blanket. This will help the salad turn tender and crunchy at the same time.
