Selection of light and savory salads for kebab

Shashlik has long been the most popular picnic dish. Today, no one says, “I’m going to the forest to relax in nature, drink and eat.” Instead, they simply say, “Let’s go to the barbecue.” But, as they say, not a single barbecue. After all, even the most delicious meat needs a fresh snack. And here you will need simple, but at the same time unusual salads to the barbecue from our selection.



I understand that you are already eager to prepare some salad from our collection and go with it to nature. But be patient. These tips will make it easier to choose and increase the chances that a walk will not harm your health.



To begin with, the barbecue itself is quite fat. Especially if you marinate it in a mayonnaise sauce. So refrain from mayonnaise salads. First of all, they spoil quickly. Second, mayonnaise will make the snack too full.



Don't rush to salt the salads at home. It is better to do this when the main dish is ready. Otherwise, vegetables will juice early and salads will become too watery. Do not include sausage and eggs in salads. Like mayonnaise, these foods spoil quickly in the sun. You don't need to feel heavy at the picnic.

Preparation

1. Smooth the cabbage. Keep in mind that the most delicate salads are obtained with Beijing cabbage. After all, among all types of cabbage, Beijing is the juiciest. And among the crunchy ones, it is also the softest.
2. Cut cucumbers with quarters of circles, and peppers with arbitrary pieces.

2. Wash celery stems cut into medium pieces. We don't need a top with leaves. Although if you really like celery, you can add them.
3. From the apple remove the head, wash and cut medium pieces for ease of use.
