The variety of green salad knows no bounds: today there are more than a hundred edible types, so everyone can find something to their taste. We talk about the 10 most common varieties of green salad that you can find in almost any supermarket.

Iceberg

One of the most popular salads in the world. It is added to many dishes as a side dish and snack. If you have ever dined at an average tourist restaurant in a popular European metropolis, you have definitely tasted an iceberg. This salad is distinguished by large light green crispy juicy leaves and a slightly sweetish neutral taste.

Batavia

curly leaves Batavia you are well known. We bet this salad often ends up on your table. However, you might not know this, since varieties of such a salad are sold under the most unexpected names (it's a matter of selection), which, meanwhile, do not differ much from each other in taste. Slightly sweet batavia looks great in sandwiches and in sals with nuts and meat.

Korn

Lamb grass, as the root is also called, is small leaves collected in small bushes. Spicy-sweet, sometimes bitter, they go well with vegetable oils. It is better not to make them the basis of the salad - their taste is too bright, but adding it to other, more neutral leaves for piquancy will be the right decision.

Watercress

Spicy in taste, it perfectly complements popular salad mixes and will look good as an independent side dish for meat, especially beef.

lettuce

It cannot be called a particularly refined salad. It tastes bland, not particularly remarkable, and in general, one might say, even boring. However, we love it. It gives a noticeable freshness to sandwiches, and in other dishes it does not interrupt the tastes of other products.

Green lettuce leaves are a storehouse of vitamins with a minimum of calories. Watercress has an antibacterial effect, lettuce will help fill the lack of iron, arugula will strengthen the immune system.

Lollo Rossa

The most delicious version of this salad is the one with red leaves: it has a nutty taste with pronounced mustard notes.

Chard

It tastes like spinach and, unlike many other salads, is good not only fresh, but also boiled. Another cute feature of this salad is the bright, red stalks.

Chinese cabbage

Cheap and unremarkable salad. Based on it, chefs are not advised to make independent dishes because of the too simple taste, but as an addition to sandwiches, these leaves will be ideal.

Romaine

It is customary to cook Caesar salad from romaine: its spicy leaves make a wonderful company with chicken, croutons and a sweetish sauce. However, together with other salads, he will also be great friends.

frise

This salad with pretty curly yellow-green leaves is often used to decorate dishes. We consider this an omission - its potential is clearly underestimated - and we advise you to add this salad with bitterness to fish and meat appetizers as spices.

Hello again, my dear readers! The last article showed that you are not at all indifferent to the beauty of spring. Therefore, today I decided to continue the topic and also talk about the plant, only not about flowers, but about leaves ... edible.

There are a lot of such leaves now in their own, native beds, and on the market. And in one article, of course, I won’t be able to tell about everyone, so you need to choose the most-most from this set ... What do you think, which one? I think it's lettuce leaves. And you? Do you agree?

For me, on this topic, the most interesting question is - what can be prepared from lettuce leaves? But, let's not break the tradition and first let's talk about the benefits of the protagonist.

salad usefulness

I am sure that you have heard many times about the benefits of such a common ingredient. But specifically, how is it useful for the body? Tricky question?! As usual, I plunged into the topic with my head, and pulled out specific usefulness into the light of God:

Lowering the level of cholesterol in the blood;
Stabilization of the state of metabolic processes (a lifesaver for losing weight!);
Strengthening the immune system;
Barrier against toxins, gases and radiation;
Calms the nervous system;
Organizes good hematopoiesis;
Increases performance.

And yet, they say that with its help you can even restore vision! It’s just a record holder for calcium content (didn’t you know?), And how many minerals and vitamins are in its composition! So, now that winter is far behind, it's time to replenish their stocks.

Naturally, no one will refuse such a positive effect of ordinary food on their body. But, in the usual, "raw" form, for me personally, it is difficult to eat salad. Agree, most (if not all) of its species have a bitter taste. How to be? It's simple: we will add it as a component of some dish.

spring kitchen

Let's start with the simplest - we interfere with salads.

Salad with cucumbers

An ordinary dish, which, moreover, will not harm your figure at all. And it's ready almost instantly! It will take you about 20 minutes to do everything. Approximate content:

leaf salad
cucumbers
sour cream

Why exemplary? And no one will forbid you to add an apple to it, for example, or olives and “throw away” high-calorie eggs! The cooking process itself is simple to disgrace. You just need to cut all the ingredients in arbitrary proportions and season with sour cream, for example. Seasonings, spices, herbs, you pick up those that you like, to your taste - I'm here with dill parsley love. And you, maybe - cilantro or celery?

Light salad with cheese

As I already wrote in this article, any salad with tomatoes and cheese eventually becomes Greek. I’m not at all against the Greek, but you can read how to cook it in the above article, just add the leaves of our today’s hero to the composition described (other greens are also not forbidden).

Now we will make another salad, and there will be no tomatoes in it. And what will happen? There will be cheese (or cheese) and greens. And that's it! How? Elementary:

We tear the salad into small pieces, finely chop the greens at hand - onions, parsley and dill in my case. But three cheese on a grater, we combine. In the end, I dress with sour cream, and if you respect mayonnaise, add a little. And yet, I’ll tell you a secret, it’s very tasty to stuff thin pita bread with such a salad.

Attention! Use salt in small amounts, as the cheese itself tastes quite salty. And it is even better not to salt such a salad at all.

The fact that you can make a variety of salads from lettuce (pun intended ...) and vegetables is obvious. But what options with such a simple ingredient are there, besides salad? Now I will tell you about it in detail. To begin with, I propose to prepare

Green sandwiches

In general, I am far from being a supporter of fast food, hasty snacks and all that. But in case you want to arrange a snack for yourself, you need to bring it closer to the most proper nutrition. It is for such a case that I will present you a recipe that will not affect your figure, because there will be no bread in it. So, the recipe (ha! the recipe ... the most ridiculous):

Place cheese, tomato, cucumber or apples on your chosen layer of lettuce. You can pour sauce over it all, and cover it with the same layer on top as on the bottom. You can improvise, create different variations on the filling of such a sandwich. How's the recipe? I think I've thrown the idea though.

Rolls with cottage cheese

In this version, in addition to today's culprit, cottage cheese adds a lot of benefits. Read more about it if you'd like. in this and in this article. And now visually look in the video how to prepare the dish.

By the same principle, cabbage rolls are prepared from lettuce leaves. I added cheese, herbs and nuts to the filling.

Well, it seems to me that there are enough snacks, it's the turn of hot dishes.

Omelet with cheese

If an omelette, then certainly - eggs (or not?). In one container, mix them with sour cream and tomato paste (you can use whole tomatoes) in a 1: 1 ratio. Grind the cheese on a grater and add to the total mixture.

Chop the leaves first, for example, tear or cut with a knife, now pour into a container with the resulting mixture. Add pepper, salt and your favorite spices to taste. That's all, feel free to send everything to the pan, which has already warmed up on the stove.

Advice! If you decide to use tomatoes instead of tomatoes, then they must first be fried. In addition, this type of omelet does not have the ability to fry evenly, so if you do not want to constantly stir, you can bake it in the oven.

Omelette goes well with any meat, herbs and vegetables. Although, I prefer to sprinkle the finished omelette with fresh herbs on top, and eat it in this form.

Soup puree green

Surely, you are aware that liquid is necessary for the body. And often, this expression means various liquid soups. So, I propose to cook a healthy and tasty soup with our today's hero. Compound:

lettuce (lots and lots)
butter - 3 tbsp. spoons
flour - 2 tbsp. spoons
milk - 5-6 glasses

I will consider the cooking process using such a miracle of technology as a blender. If you do not have such a device, you can use a meat grinder.

Grind the leaves with a blender. Lightly “fry” the flour in a saucepan with a part of the butter, and leave another spoonful of butter for later. Dilute it all with hot milk, then boil and mix with green salad mass. You need to cook for about 10-15 minutes. Next, add salt, butter, cream, and the like to taste, as you like.

Advice! Any puree soup goes perfectly with croutons, I understand that this is not very healthy, but it is insanely delicious.

Soup with potatoes

Another soup, a little more substantial in my opinion. And we will need a blender at the end of cooking, but you can do without it (which I actually do). For it, you can use absolutely any kind of lettuce - "lollo rossa", "iceberg" and others.

onion
potato
milk
butter
chicken bouillon
lettuce

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the chopped onion there. If you already see that the onion is browned, you can add two cups of milk and three cups of chicken broth. After boiling, add chopped potatoes and cook under the lid for literally 20 minutes. After the potatoes have already been cooked, add chopped leaves to it, “by eye”. Cook for another 5 minutes, do not forget to salt! In conclusion - grind everything in a blender. How do you like this option?

My dear hostesses, I hope you enjoyed the recipes with such a useful ingredient. Do not forget that the salad can also be used in smoothies, with different combinations.

I wish you success in the culinary field, in the preparation of delicious dishes! And you, in turn, subscribe to updates and recommend the blog to your friends, because this is where the most necessary, useful and proven tips are collected!
