Anyway, everyone will cook a lot of food and set the table. Someone will go to visit, and someone will receive.

I suggest easy to prepare, but very delicious salad"Ruddy cheeks". I borrowed the recipe from friends many years ago and since then I have been making this salad quite often.

Now he is one of the most beloved by children.

For cooking, we need the following ingredients:

• Boiled potatoes - 8 pieces of medium size
• Hard boiled eggs - 8 pieces
• Onions - 1 large onion
• Boiled beets - 4-5 pieces
• Boiled carrots - 4 pieces
• Pickled or pickled cucumbers - 10 pieces
• Mayonnaise - 0.500

Basically, the amount of food can be adjusted depending on how many people you need to feed.

My homemade pickles, that is, without vinegar. But pickled ones are also very tasty, so try and find your ideal option.

There should be a lot of beets, so I then added one more. So, only 5 pieces.

Cut all ingredients into medium-sized cubes. Very handy if you have a special attachment in your food processor to cut vegetables into cubes. I don't have one, so I cut with a knife myself.

I cut the onion into thin strips, but this is a matter of taste.

Lay out the salad in layers:

1st - potatoes

3rd - cucumbers

4th - carrots

6th - beets

I usually cook it in a large salad bowl with high sides, but now I show it in a simple plate so that you can see everything.

So, the first layer is potatoes. Top mesh of mayonnaise.

It is advisable not to smear the mayonnaise and not press the layers, then the salad will turn out to be airy and not dry.

Then onions and again a net of mayonnaise.

Onions are followed by cucumbers and mayonnaise.

Then carrots and eggs. It is important that the eggs are chopped and not grated. This will greatly affect the taste of the salad in general.

Lay out the top layer from boiled beets. We make a net of mayonnaise and decorate green onions, you can also rub the yolk on a fine grater.

Very simple salad"Ruddy cheeks"

1. Finely chop fresh cabbage, and raw beets grate in the form of shavings. For cutting vegetables, the Burner graters are very convenient, the happy owner of which I am.

2. Mix chopped vegetables, salt, pepper, add horseradish and mayonnaise. Mix again thoroughly and put on a plate. It is advisable to season the salad before serving so that the vegetables do not have time to let the juice flow.

Surely you know that a beautifully served dish whet the appetite, so I recommend decorating the salad with parsley or dill and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Eating beets and cabbage is known to improve digestion and metabolism. Both beets and cabbage contain a lot of minerals (sulfur, iodine, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, copper, phosphorus, etc.) and vitamins (A, C, B1, B6, PP, etc.).

The wonderful combination of white cabbage and beetroot makes this inexpensive and easy-to-prepare salad a source of vitamins and minerals that are so necessary for our body during the winter season.

This is how we got it very simple and useful salad!

Marginal notes:

At different stages of human history, the value of vegetables and fruits has been assessed in different ways.

It turns out that the ancient Romans, almost all diseases of cabbage. It was believed that a cabbage leaf applied to a wound protects against infection and promotes rapid healing, and eating cabbage for food improves digestion and increases the amount of milk for nurses. Of course, this view of fruits and vegetables is due to the level of development of medicine at that time. However, the fact of the widespread use of vegetables and fruits in ancient medicine is of interest.

In the 50s - 70s of the last century, the importance of vegetables and fruits in nutrition was ignored, since at that time the scientific theory about nutritional value high-calorie food products... Only at the beginning of this century, when the role of vitamins was studied, organic acids, minerals contained in fruits and vegetables, these products have taken an important place in the human diet.
