Vegetable salad from cucumbers with vegetable oil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a vegetable salad with green beans? Prepare all the necessary products according to the list. For the salad, I used a green mix of various young leaves. You can take iceberg lettuce, batavia, corn, lettuce or chard. It is better to take red, shallot or white salad onions. These varieties have a milder taste and are ideal for light vegetable salads.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut off the tails on both sides of the beans and remove the tendrils on the sides (if any). Cut each pod into small pieces about 2 centimeters long. Rinse the beans in clean water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, there are two ways to process the pods. First: the beans can be thrown into boiling water and cooked until the pods become soft. Second: pour 2 tablespoons of odorless vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it, add beans and finely chopped garlic to fry until soft. I like the second option better, so I often fry the beans.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the lettuce leaves, place them on paper napkins and gently blot them on all sides to remove excess moisture. Place in a salad bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the cucumber and tomatoes and dry. Cut the vegetables into arbitrary small pieces. Add to salad mix.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the carrots and remove the core and seeds from the bell pepper. For a brighter and more appetizing appearance of the finished dish, use peppers of different colors whenever possible. Cut the bell pepper into strips, and grate the carrots on a coarse grater or chop using a vegetable cutter for Korean salads.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add chopped onion and green beans to all ingredients.

8. STEP 8

   

   The finishing touches remain. Finely chop the greens and add to the salad. Salt and pepper to taste. If necessary, add a little olive or vegetable oil (if the beans were fried, then oil may not be needed at this stage).

9. STEP 9

   

   Toss the salad and sprinkle with lemon or lime juice.

10. STEP 10

    

    Ready! Serve on its own or as an accompaniment to meat, potatoes, fish and more.

I wanted to make a vegetable salad from cucumbers with vegetable oil. I had to replace the cherry tomatoes with a regular tomato, there was no red onion, I didn’t add onion, it’s too strong in its raw form, I decided to just add green onions, according to the author’s advice, I also fried the beans with garlic in vegetable oil, I took it with this in mind so that you don’t have to add raw oil to the salad. I chopped all the vegetables, mixed them, added herbs (dill and green onions), a mixture of peppers, and lemon juice. The salad is wonderful, juicy, aromatic, very tasty. Thanks for the recipe, Zhemchuzhina!
