It is necessary
- - 1 can of red canned beans;
- - 200 g of hard cheese;
- - 1 large cucumber;
- - 2 garlic cloves;
- - greens and mayonnaise to taste;
- - purchased croutons or white bread for their preparation.
Instructions
Step 1
Cooking salad with beans and breadcrumbs should not cause difficulties even for girls who do not know how to cook at all. To make a dish tasty, you just need to choose the right foods.
Step 2
There is a large assortment of canned beans on store shelves. For the salad, it is recommended to take the product in its own juice. Of course, beans in tomato sauce are tastier, but they will not work for this appetizer, as they will "hammer" the taste of other ingredients.
Step 3
Open a can of purchased beans, drain the liquid, put the product in a deep bowl. Wash the cucumber, cut off the inedible parts, chop the vegetable into thin slices or as you like. Combine the cucumber with the beans.
Step 4
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, put in a bowl with the other ingredients. If you add greens to the salad, then wash it, chop it, put it in a bowl. Peel the garlic, chop with a knife or pass through a press, add to other products.
Step 5
If you are using store-bought croutons, you can put them in a salad. It is recommended to use the product with either salt or cheese flavor. It is important that the croutons do not have a strong aroma, do not interrupt the taste of other products.
Step 6
You can make croutons with your own hands. For example, by cutting white bread into small cubes and drying it in a microwave oven at maximum power for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Some housewives dry crackers in the oven or fry in a pan - it's a matter of taste. If you have already placed all the ingredients in a salad bowl, then it's time to season the dish with mayonnaise, stir and serve.
Step 8
If the salad with beans and croutons will not be served immediately, then you should not add a crunchy ingredient to it. Otherwise, the dried bread will become damp and all the piquancy of the snack will be lost.
