Salad, as a kind of condiment with strong foreign flavor, has more and more varieties with the increasing expansion of raw materials and the localization of production methods. Fresh lettuce, boiled vegetables, fish, meat and, of course, more fruits can all be the main ingredients of salad. Even if the same main ingredient and several ingredients are slightly changed, such as the change of cutting method and ingredient procedure, it will become another salad. The four salads recommended here are simple in method, unique in visual effect and good in taste.

Lettuce salad

Of course, take some lettuce leaves, fresh and tender, and tear them into silk by hand. The more shredded, the better, and then immersed in ice water for about 10 minutes. Take an onion, which is tender, cut it into thin slices, soak it in ordinary water to remove the spicy taste, then take it out and pour out the water. Take out the ice water soaked in lettuce, put it on a plate, sprinkle those onion slices, add chopped parsley and stir. Pour the sauce before serving. All right.

Stem salad

The main ingredients are potatoes, carrots and cucumbers. Of course, you can also change them into fruits and vegetables with other stems at will. First, cut potatoes and carrots into small squares of about 7 mm and cook them separately. Cook the potatoes until they are slightly hard. Boil carrots to Microsoft, pick them up, cool them naturally and put them together. Take a high-quality cucumber, remove the seeds, cut it into 7 mm cubes, sprinkle with fine salt and mix well. Then pour the potatoes, carrots and cucumbers together, add two tablespoons of mayonnaise and stir. Add salt, pepper and the sauce you are interested in. That's it.

Pineapple tuna salad

It's a little more trouble to make this salad. Take a canned tuna, open it, pour it out, and suck up the excess oil with a paper towel. Take some fresh or canned pineapple pieces and chop them into small pieces. Take a chicory and shred it. Take 4 tablespoons of frozen corn and stir it a little. Natural cooling. Take 5 tablespoons salad dressing and some citrus sauce, put them in a plate and stir well. Take a grapefruit, peel it, put the pulp back into the shell, pour tuna, pineapple pieces, chicory and frozen corn into the grapefruit shell, stir it with the grapefruit meat, and pile it up into a beautiful shape. Finally, pour in salad dressing and citrus sauce. All right.

Tofu and ham salad

It's a bit complicated to do, but it feels good. First put the whole piece of white jade tofu on the chopping block, compact it to remove water (at least half an hour), and then cut the dried tofu into pieces with a size of one centimeter. Take 200 grams of green beans, boil them in water, pick them up when the color is green, shell them and cool them naturally. Take a tomato, cut it, soak it in hot water, take it out, cool it naturally, and cut it into pieces of one centimeter size. Take some slices of ham and cut them into pieces of one centimeter size. Take two teaspoons of bean paste and one teaspoon of soy sauce, stir, add six teaspoons of mayonnaise, and stir. Spread lettuce leaves on the plate, then put everything on it and pour the salad dressing you are interested in. You can enjoy it.
