Bulgarian green salad

We continue to prepare salads in Bulgarian style: we have already prepared Shopska salad and Greek in Bulgarian.

I really like salads from fresh vegetables, and their zest, perhaps, will be the dressing from balsamic vinegar and olive oil... Besides, lime (to add a special taste), avocado (very useful product), a couple of heads garlic... When you don't need to go to work in the morning, you can afford garlic in a salad, but if you are still worried about the garlic spirit, there are a couple of secrets:

1. Garlic should be eaten without an arrow in the middle, but fresh - this does not suffer;

2. Milk is a great way to get rid of the garlic smell. I promise that we will add garlic in small quantities, it will not be the main ingredient.

In addition, the main ingredients are ordinary fresh vegetables: iceberg lettuce, arugula, frisee, red and green (yellow) peppers, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers. This is a whole field for action!

Although Bulgaria has wonderful tomatoes - pink, fleshy - not everyone likes them. You can make a delicious salad without them.

2. Add a couple of small cucumbers or a third of a long cucumber, cut into quarters (I divide the cucumber lengthwise into 4 parts and cut across).

3. Cut half of the red onion into rings.

4. Also add some olives or olives.

5. Chop the garlic finely.

6. Season with balsamic and olive oil.

Most often, most of the snacks on our tables differ little from each other, and therefore have not caused any delight among households for a long time. Bulgarian salad is a great option both for every day and for the holiday menu, and also such a recipe will delight people who follow a diet.

Separately, it can be mentioned that the appetizer will not require large material costs from you, but it will certainly delight you with its excellent taste.

Why is Bulgarian salad useful and how to serve it beautifully

Most often, the concept of a Bulgarian salad hides a rather simple, but no less tasty dish. It traditionally includes fresh vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, onions and olives, as well as sweet bell peppers.

The appetizer is usually seasoned with olive oil. The list of ingredients also includes soft cheese such as feta. That is why it is worth preparing this option as often as possible.

In some ways, the Bulgarian salad is very similar to the Greek one - a lot of fresh vegetables, pickled cheese, olives. But still, this recipe has its own differences. Many chefs adore the Bulgarian appetizer for its simplicity of preparation and fresh, pleasant taste.

But the most important thing is that the calorie content of the Bulgarian salad is negligible. This means that you can afford a serving of a snack, even if you are eating or trying to lose weight.

This dish easily belongs to the category of healthy food. Still, fresh vegetables are so healthy. And brine cheese has a low percentage of fat and is not at all caloric.

• In order to beautifully offer a Bulgarian salad to the table, it is better to place it either in one large plate, or immediately put it in portions in bowls or small bowls.
• Salads made from fresh vegetables and soft cheese look best in deep white bowls, in transparent glass dishes, as well as in metal bowls.
• If you are going to serve Bulgarian salad on the table in a portioned container, then it is better to put the dish in glasses with a high leg, but with a wide neck. This presentation looks unusual and original.
• It is worth filling the Bulgarian salad with olive oil. This product is an ideal complement to cold meals and snacks, and the health benefits of the treat will be much greater.
• It is better not to cook salads for future use, the same rule applies to Bulgarian. The fact is that fresh vegetables in the refrigerator will quickly become unusable and lose their elasticity. Therefore, do not be lazy and prepare a fresh snack for the table.

How to make a delicious Bulgarian salad with your own hands at home

To make the dish the most beautiful and cheerful, you should choose yellow Bulgarian pepper for it.

1. We wash the cucumber and tomato under cold water, after which we remove the stalks, if any. We cut off the "butts" of the cucumber.
2. We crush the washed vegetables into large enough half-rings so that the juice remains inside the slices.
3. We wash the Bulgarian pepper under the tap, cut it with half a knife and remove the tasteless center with seeds. Shred into longitudinal slices.
4. Peel the head of the onion and cut it in half. Then chop the vegetable with a knife into rings of medium thickness.
5. We take out the olives from the jar, draining the brine. Of course, it is better to take those that are already pitted. Otherwise, you will have to extract the olive seed with your own hands before sending the ingredient to the salad.
6. In a separate bowl, pour lemon juice on the onion rings, then season and lightly salt. The onions will give off juice, which can be bitter and should be drained.
7. We wash half a bunch of fresh greenfinches (you can choose the one that you like more) and chop it not too finely, then transfer it to a salad bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
8. We stir our Bulgarian salad, trying not to crush ripe slices of vegetables. Season the dish with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon). Before that, squeeze a clove of garlic into a plate.
9. Stir the appetizer again gently. Now it's time to add the pickled cheese to the plate. In this case, you can also choose ordinary feta cheese.
10. Chop soft cheese with a knife so that cubes come out - uniform, which will not fall apart. We are not too small for this.
11. After soft cheese has appeared in the Bulgarian salad, you need to mix the dish very carefully, or even better not to do this at all.
12. We lay out the treats in portioned bowls or bowls and immediately proceed to tasting.

If you like food more spicy, then you can add a mixture of your favorite spicy herbs or hot peppers to the list of spices. This will make the Bulgarian salad even more flavorful.

National treasure

Every kitchen in the world has its own distinctive, recognizable dish. In Bulgaria, this is definitely a Shopska salad. This unpretentious snack made from fresh vegetables with cheese, however, was able to win the hearts of people in many Eastern European countries.

The name and origin of the shop salad is due to one of the western Bulgarian ethnic groups - shops. It is easy to prepare this dish at home, especially in the summer, when fresh vegetables are abundant, especially since it is not much different from the traditional summer vegetable salad.

The classic Shopska salad recipe includes tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers (paprika), onions and pickled cheese such as feta cheese. A lot of greens, olives must be added to the appetizer, and a mixture of vegetable oil with lemon juice or vinegar is used as a dressing. Most often, vegetables are simply chopped finely, sprinkled with grated cheese and flavored with butter.

But according to the national recipe, the preparation of a shop salad is different, the latter is laid out in layers, alternating tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese.

The combination of red, green and white symbolizes the flag of Bulgaria, making this appetizer a truly national treasure.

By the way, it is feta cheese that is put into the classic Shopska salad, which gives the dish a true Bulgarian taste, so you should approach the choice of cheese responsibly.

The recipe for a shop salad should be in service with every housewife, because this dish is simple, but tasty, it can be served as an independent snack, or as a side dish for meat or fish.

In addition, the Shopska salad is bright, it can be beautifully served, as in the photo, the dish is light and charges with vitamins and good mood without harming the figure. And for hot days, such a snack is generally irreplaceable, because it satiates and refreshes at the same time.

Preparation

A traditional Bulgarian dish - Shopska salad, is prepared according to a simple recipe, but it is important to use only fresh and high-quality products, not tasteless greenhouse vegetables, but ground vegetables, so it is best to cook it in the summer season.

1. Cut out the stalks of tomatoes and cut the pulp into small wedges or slices.
2. Peel the cucumbers and cut twice lengthways and chop coarsely.
3. Sweet peppers (it is better to take red and green), peel from seeds, cut in half and cut into thin strips.
4. Cut the onion into thin half rings, it is best to use sweet varieties. If the onion is bitter, you can scald it with boiling water.
5. Shopska salad must be prepared with a dressing, the recipe for which is extremely simple: in a separate bowl, mix sunflower oil with lemon juice and salt. Instead of lemon juice, you can use any vinegar: table, wine, apple.
6. Put all the vegetables in a salad bowl and pour over the dressing, then mix.
7. Chop olives into rings, chop the parsley and put on top of the rest of the vegetables.
8. Grate or break the cheese coarsely and sprinkle on the salad last.

The ingredients for making a Shopska salad can be changed to your liking using different recipes from the photo. In particular, bell peppers are often used not fresh, but pickled or baked.

The peppers should be baked whole in an oven preheated to 200C for 10 minutes, then put them in a plastic bag, wait until they cool, and then peel them of seeds and skin. Peeled peppers should be coarsely chopped before adding to the salad. You can also grill bell peppers until the skins are blackened, proceeding in the same way.

Sometimes green hot peppers, also fresh or pickled, are added to the Shopska salad for piquancy.

For the preparation of a shop salad, the proportions of the ingredients can be determined independently, according to taste, but there should be more cucumbers and tomatoes, and less onion and pepper. You can not put olives at all or limit yourself to 2-3 pieces for decoration.
