Spring salad - a vitamin bomb
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your menu with light, nutritious and delicious meals. After the winter period, our body needs vitamins and minerals that help us regain energy and strengthen our immunity. This spring salad is an excellent choice – easy to prepare, and rich in ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the health and vitality of the body.
Ingredients
- ½ small head of fresh cabbage
- 2-3 fresh beets or one larger one
- 3 carrots
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- 1 lemon
Preparation:
Preparing this salad is very quick and easy
First, wash all the vegetables well. Peel the beets and carrots, then grate them on a coarse grater so that they retain their texture and juiciness. Cut the cabbage as thinly as possible. After cutting, lightly salt it and crush it a little with your hands to soften it and release its juices.
Wash and finely chop the sremuš. The intense aroma and spicy taste of its leaves will give the salad a special freshness and character. Determine the amount depending on the taste - add the sremuš little by little until you reach the desired taste.
Take a large bowl and pour all the prepared ingredients into it. Mix everything well so that the taste is evenly distributed. Then add salt and pepper to taste, and pour freshly squeezed lemon juice over everything. Lemon not only gives a refreshing note, but also helps the ingredients to be better absorbed.
Gently mix the salad again and let it sit for a few minutes. It is best to serve it fresh, but you can also leave it in the refrigerator for a while before serving.
Sremuš is a medicinal plant with a strong aroma and a slightly spicy taste, which is increasingly found on our tables in the spring months. It is rich in minerals and vitamin C, which is most concentrated in its leaves. That's why the leaves are more often used in recipes than the bulb.
By adding sremuš to this salad, you not only enrich its taste, but also add a real vitamin bomb to your daily menu.
Enjoy a simple, yet extremely healthy meal that brings the freshness of spring right to your table!
