Instructions
Step 1
Vitamin salad with white cabbage
Wash all vegetables and pat dry. Cut the cucumbers lengthwise into halves and then crosswise into semicircles. Chop the cabbage leaves. Cut the carrots into strips or grate them on a coarse grater. Chop the dill greens.
Step 2
Combine all salad ingredients in a deep bowl, season with vegetable oil, salt and mix well. Let the healthy snack steep for at least half an hour.
Step 3
Red cabbage salad
Place the walnuts in a sturdy bag and roll over it with a rolling pin or grind the kernels in a coffee grinder. Chop the red cabbage thinly, remember it a little with a spoon or with your hands to give juice, and mix with the nut crumbs.
Step 4
Cut off the thick stems from the branches of greens, chop it finely together with the onion and transfer to the bulk of the salad. Add a handful of currant berries there, stir everything thoroughly, season with oil, salt and leave for half an hour.
Step 5
Strawberry Avocado Salad
Slice the avocado lengthways and turn the halves in opposite directions to remove the pit. Cut the flesh into small wedges and sprinkle with lemon juice against browning. Remove the green tails from the berries and cut them into quarters, the peeled cucumbers into thin slices.
Step 6
Place all salad ingredients on a flat dish. Pour lemon juice, olive and nut oil into a jar with a lid, add poppy seeds, pepper and salt. Close the container and shake vigorously several times. Drizzle the dressing over the strawberries, avocado and cucumber.
Step 7
Carrot salad
Peel the root vegetables, grate on a Korean grater and squeeze the lemon juice onto them. Divide the tangerines into slices, open them with a knife and take out the juicy center. Soak raisins and dried apricots in hot water for 10 minutes, fold in a colander and chop.
Step 8
Pour the nuts and seeds into the mortar and crush them with a pestle. Place all food in a salad bowl. Stir honey and yogurt in a cup, pour into salad and stir. Sprinkle it with sesame seeds.
