"Uninvited guest, that there is a bone in the throat"
No, we are all, of course, hospitable and hospitable hosts. But the situation when dear unexpected guests suddenly appear on the threshold of your house, and you are completely unprepared, can be quite unpleasant. It's one thing when an old friend dropped in on your fire - tea and cookies are enough for gatherings in the kitchen. And if a company of husband's friends came to you and decided to celebrate the victory of their favorite football team? While the main course is being prepared, guests need to be fed something quickly, and in this case, sandwiches and salads come to the rescue. On our site you will find a huge number of sandwich recipes, and we will try to put together recipes quick salads. Just let's agree right away: a salad is a dish of fresh vegetables or fruits with a specially prepared dressing. Mayonnaise "salads" are rather an appetizer, we will also talk about them. Only we will fill them with our own mayonnaise. You will be surprised how different homemade mayonnaise is from that incomprehensible substance that is sold to us in stores.
. Carefully separate 2 yolks from proteins, also removing flagella. It is advisable to take eggs at home. If you are afraid of salmonellosis, take quail in a ratio of 1: 4 (that is, instead of 2 chicken yolks, you need to take 8 quail). Lightly salt the yolks and rub in one direction with a spoon. It is not necessary to beat with a mixer, the mayonnaise will turn out just as tasty, but due to the large number of air bubbles, its shelf life is reduced to 1-2 days. Continuing to grind, add a drop of vegetable (ideally olive) oil, stir until completely combined with the yolk, and only then add the next portion. Each time the portion of oil becomes more and more. Rub in one direction, each time achieving complete uniformity. For 2 yolks you will need about 300 g of butter. Each time the mixture will become thicker. Salt and pepper the resulting mixture to taste, add ready-made mustard, mix and add lemon juice or vinegar. The mixture will turn white and begin to resemble purchased mayonnaise, but only in appearance, but not in content.

Larisa Shuftaykina
A good cook is capable of simple products to make a masterpiece - a celebration of the soul and stomach. cheap salad is one of those dishes. Made of natural ingredients, mainly from vegetables and fruits, it is also very useful.
Cabbage salad - delicious and healthy!
Cabbage salad with carrots
In order to prepare this cheap salad, you will need cabbage, carrots, sugar, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and vegetable oil. Cabbage for this dish is chopped into thin strips, and carrots are rubbed on a coarse grater. Sprinkling the mass with lemon juice, adding a little salt and sprinkling with sugar, knead it with your hands. After this procedure, juice should stand out, and the whole mass acquires a pleasant shade of orange.
After dressing with oil, the salad is mixed and served on the table.
Cheap and garlic
Almost the same as in previous version, prepare this salad. Just before kneading, crushed garlic is added to the mass. But in this version, sugar should be completely abandoned or flavored with just one pinch of salad, like salt.
You can fill the dish with both oil and sour cream or mayonnaise. From above, it is recommended to decorate with carrot flowers or paths of finely chopped carrots, which scatter from the center, like rays of the sun.
Cabbage salad with garlic and beets
If carrots are replaced with raw beets, then the salad will acquire some piquancy. Its color will also change, becoming amazingly mother-of-pearl. In addition, at any time of the year it is the cheapest salad.
Its recipe can be slightly diversified by making the dish compound: crush half the cabbage with carrots, and half with beets. If you put these two different salads in a salad bowl in triangles, it will be very beautiful and festive. So, when choosing cheap salads for your birthday, you should not discount this recipe.
Cabbage-apple salad
Easy and cheap to do vitamin salad which is perfect for dessert. The recipe for its preparation practically does not differ from cabbage salad with carrots, which are replaced with an apple. But in this case, the cabbage should be crushed before the chopped apple is added to the salad.
You can diversify the dish by replacing only part of the carrot with an apple. And you can include other fruits in the salad: bananas, oranges, tangerines or pears. Yes, and as a dressing, sweet yogurt or whipped cream is quite suitable.
Who said cheap birthday salads are bad manners? Or maybe someone doubts that garnished with orange slices and berries, fresh or candied, sweet salad will be in demand at the festive table? Try it yourself and make sure that this will be the first salad bowl to be released on the table.
Garlic salads
In addition to cabbage, garlic goes well with carrots, cheese, boiled beets, hard-boiled eggs and other ingredients. It is rare that a hostess refuses to put spicy garlic salads on the table - cheap and tasty, but so adored by everyone!
Everyone knows garlic-carrot salads seasoned with mayonnaise or sour cream. Not inferior to them in fame and beet-garlic salads. Moreover, beets with garlic often “invite” ground nuts and prunes to their place.
Salad "Lubovnitsa" - tasty, beautiful and piquant
They can decorate salads cheap and tasty, if they are cooked with desire. This recipe is as simple as all the previous ones. The dish is different in that several different salads are laid out in layers in it:
- carrot-garlic layer with dressing;
- cheese-garlic layer with dressing;
- beet-garlic layer with dressing.
If desired, ground nuts can be added to the cheese mass, and raisins and prunes can be added to the beet-garlic mass.
Salad "Kiss of the mistress", or "French mistress"
This salad is just as piquant as the previous one, which is called "The Mistress". In the very name of both salads lies some kind of duality: the sweetness of passion and the bitterness of separation, the impossibility of being together. Likewise, there is such a striking difference in the ingredients and layers of this dish.
They prepare the "Kiss of the Mistress" in the same layers as just the "Lover". Only the layers are slightly different:
- bitter layer - beet-garlic;
- sweet layer - carrot-raisin;
- spicy layer - cheese-nut.
The top of the dish is sprinkled with grated cheese and chopped cucumber. You can decorate with herbs or finely chopped carrots. flowers from boiled beets and carrots will also look charming in a salad bowl on the festive table.
Daikon salads
The advantages of daikon are that it is cheap to cook from it. In addition, this root crop has an excellent cleansing property, a spicy taste and it is extremely rich in vitamins. Daikon goes well with most different vegetables and even fruits, so the range of its use in this area is very wide. Very often, it is these light and cheap daikon that are used for weight loss that can help the hostess diversify not only daily menu but also to prepare a creative dish on festive table.
Daikon salad with carrots and apple
Even a teenager can make such a salad. The main thing in it is the ability to use such a simple device as a grater.
Apples, carrots and daikon are crushed, lightly salted and dressing is added to the mass: sunflower oil, sour cream, mayonnaise or home-made sauce. Everything is mixed - the dish is ready!
According to the same recipe, another salad is prepared, in which the apple is replaced with pickled or pickled cucumber. You can even get by with just carrots and daikon, but a three-ingredient salad has a wider palette of flavors. This dish with crab sticks is especially tasty - it immediately becomes Japanese!
Salad "Slim"
Especially for those who want to lose extra pounds, this recipe exists in the world. Cooking "Slim" is as easy as all previous salads.
The ingredients for this dish will be:
- raw carrots;
- fresh cucumber;
- daikon root;
- one hundred grams of spinach;
- vegetable oil;
- salt.
Cucumbers are finely chopped, and daikon and carrots are chopped on a coarse grater or cut into tiny strips. Finely chop the spinach. If young carrots are used, in which fresh greens have been preserved, then it is recommended to use it in a salad - in carrot tops so many useful substances: trace elements and vitamins.
Salad "Slim" should not be seasoned with mayonnaise or sour cream, just sprinkle it with wine or apple cider vinegar. Suitable for this purpose and lemon juice.
Fresh cucumber salads
Remembering the recipes for simple and cheap salads in the summer, you can’t miss cucumber dishes. Actually, these recipes are perfect for winter, because fresh cucumbers can be replaced with pickled or salted ones.
Salad "Corn crocodile"
For this fun dish, you will need to chop fresh cabbage, salt it and mash it. Add finely planed fresh cucumber and canned sweet corn to the resulting mass.
A sour apple grated on a coarse grater wonderfully sets off the taste of any salad. To taste, greens are put in it: dill, parsley, spinach, green salad leaves. Fill it with oil.
In order not to disagree with his appearance, it is appropriate to hoist a vegetable figurine on top of it - a crocodile made of cucumber.
You can put the salad in a herring - it has an oval oblong shape. The mass can be easily shaped into a crocodile, and on top of the salad cover with cucumber rings. The eyes of a reptile can be made from corn kernels, or you can use olives.
Vitamin salad "Cocktail Sunny"
This salad is best cooked in summer or closer to autumn, when all the ingredients in it are natural, grown in our gardens and orchards, and not brought from somewhere. After all, then each component contains a piece of the sun, which is why the dish is called “Sunny Cocktail”.
In addition to cucumbers, this salad contains cabbage, raw carrots, apples, tomatoes and bell pepper. Onions can be used both onions and green - which one you like better. Greens are also added in accordance with taste preferences.
Cabbage is cut into thin strips-noodles, cucumbers are cut into strips. Before slicing apples, it is recommended to peel and cut into cubes. Tomatoes are cut into slices, pepper - into half rings. Carrots are best coarsely grated or chopped into thin strips.
How to cut onions - each housewife decides for herself. In some family, large half rings are preferred, in some - finely chopped onions. And others completely ignore this delicious and healthiest ingredient- but it's their right. You need to fill the salad with apple or wine vinegar and oil.
Salad decorations
Boiled eggs can be used as a decoration of the dish. It is easy to cook mushrooms from them and make cute mice, boats or snowmen.
You can also use grated cheese, with which to sprinkle the top of the dish, and make an imitation of grass from green onions.
From the halves of boiled eggs, swans are perfectly obtained if one more cut is made on them, parallel to the main one. Having cut off strips from the other halves, on one side of which cut oval thickenings, swan necks are laid out of them, and beaks from pieces of carrots.
The cheapest and most healthy foods in the middle lane - these are cabbage, beets, carrots, daikon, radishes and onions. Perhaps that is why salads from them are the cheapest and healthiest. But in the summer, tomatoes and cucumbers, radishes and green salad. And it is so important to enjoy this gift of summer and autumn to the very top, so that there are enough vitamin reserves for the whole winter.

Sometimes you want to pamper yourself and loved ones with some unpretentious, but delicious dish, which is easy to prepare and does not require the use of expensive products. Or an unplanned arrival of guests is planned, and there are no funds for preparing a chic feast. In such situations, recipes for cheap salads will come to the rescue. Do not be embarrassed about this wording, because cheap does not mean bad. This is especially true for cooking. Of course, you do not need to buy products of the lowest quality, since a cheap salad only means replacing expensive products with more affordable, but no less tasty and quality products. Also, for cheap salads, mostly vegetables, meat or fruits are taken, which can be bought at the nearest store, and not products from elite supermarkets.
When it comes to replacing expensive products with cheaper ones, there are many different options available. So, instead of turkey meat, you can take ordinary chicken meat, expensive crab meat can be replaced with crab sticks, capelin caviar can be used instead of red caviar, and the liver will also be much cheaper than any meat. If mussels are required for a salad recipe, they are unlikely to be replaced with something, you just have to choose the most inexpensive brand. Although such a product is quite rare in cheap salads. Lime and papaya can be replaced with regular lemon and melon, respectively. As for cheeses and sausages, you can look at less well-known manufacturers offering products at a bargain price.
In general, cheap salads can be anything: vegetable, meat, fruit or fish. For an inexpensive vegetable snack, you may need carrots, beets, cabbage, or potatoes. The owners of summer cottages are especially lucky: in the summer, you can pick tomatoes, cucumbers and all kinds of greens right from the garden and cook a delicious cheap salad. For low-budget meat salads, chicken or inexpensive sausage is most often taken. A simple and tasty fish appetizer can be prepared from canned sprats, mackerel or sardines in oil.
general principle preparation of cheap salads, as such, does not exist. From inexpensive products you can cook the most various salads: plain, puff or whose ingredients are laid out in slides. Depending on the products used, different dressings are taken: mayonnaise, sour cream, vegetable oil or various sauces.
Cheap salads - preparing food and dishes
