Dressing helps to emphasize and complement the tastes and aromas of the dish. We have prepared for you the most effective recommendations for dressing salads.
Think about compatibility
It is important that the dressing complement your dish.
For example, if your foods are sour, you can opt for a sweeter salad dressing.
If the salad is bland, add more spices and different flavors with dressing.
If the dish lacks fat, you can also compensate for this.
Sometimes the ingredients are too soft and the dish lacks flavor. You can use nuts, chips, popcorn.
Get the right oil
Not all vegetable oils are suitable for dressing.
Olive oil, avocado, sesame, peanut oil are well suited for dressing vegetable salads.
In addition to healthy fats, these oils will add some flavor and a nice texture to your dish.
The main thing is to add a little oil.
As a rule, 1 tablespoon of dressing is enough for a salad bowl.
Instead of butter, you can use sour cream, mayonnaise or yogurt.
Add vibrant flavors and aromas
You can use balsamic or wine vinegar for the acid.
Acid well complements neutral foods - vegetables, legumes, greens.
Instead of vinegar, you can use citrus juice: lime, lemon, orange.
Citrus aroma and taste complement fish and seafood well.
If you want to add spiciness, use chili peppers, hot paprika, garlic, shallots.
Among the spices, choose what is suitable for your dish: curry, coriander, dried herbs, sesame, nuts, and flax seeds.
