Today I bring you a very quick, refreshing and easy salad, but that can impress us in different ways depending on the dressing we choose for it, so that we will always have a different salad based on only two ingredients: lettuce and cucumber.
Degree of difficulty: Very easy
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Ingredients for the base:
- 1 lettuce
- 2 cucumbers
For the different dressings (you can choose the one you like best):
- Yogurt sauce: 1 natural yogurt (it can be light in case of diet), 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, a pinch of sugar and salt to taste.
- Walnut vinaigrette: A handful of walnuts, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt.
- Lemon dressing: The juice of half a lemon, olive oil to taste, salt and pepper.
Preparation:
We will start by cleaning the lettuce well and cutting it into strips, then we clean the cucumbers, peel them and cut them into cubes. We add to the lettuce and we have the base of the recipe ready.
Now we are going to prepare the dressing that we have chosen and we will add it to our salad:
For the yogurt sauce
In a bowl mix the yogurt with the tablespoon of oil, the teaspoon of lemon juice, the sugar and the salt. We stir well and that's it.
For the walnut vinaigrette
Add the walnuts, oil, vinegar and salt to the blender glass, beat for a few minutes and that's it. We can reserve some whole walnuts to decorate.
For the lemon dressing
In a bowl we mix the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper, stir and that's it.
This time I used the third dressing, although we love to vary between the 3 because very different flavors are achieved starting from the same base.
When serving:
It can be presented with the dressing already added or, if it is a special occasion, the base of the salad can be served together with 3 sauces with the different dressings, so diners will have the option to choose and even try each one of them. they.
Recipe suggestions:
You can add more ingredients to the base, one of my favorite options is white cheese cubes.
The best:
Despite its simplicity, it is a dish that always impresses.
