How to make Mediterranean salad.

A fresh salad, easy to prepare and very tasty , perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or to accompany a fish or meat dish. With predominant ingredients in Mediterranean cuisine, traveling through several countries.

On the blog we always promote healthy food, so you will find many salads. You have at your disposal a cookbook with a multitude of very varied recipes, both Spanish and international cuisine.

It is difficult for me to choose one, but among them I can highlight the classic ones like the Waldorf or the Caesar , to my favorites at home, the Quinoa with shrimp and the Greek salad with feta cheese .

With this salad we go beyond the most conventional salads, using less common ingredients but that combine perfectly. And to combine them all, a vinaigrette with aromatic herbs that will give it a good touch of freshness. I recommend it for when guests come home, because it will help us lighten the copious menu of the celebrations.

I leave you with a new idea to surprise you at home, different flavors and passion for Mediterranean cuisine. Rich, rich… yummy, you’ll tell me.

Preparation of the Mediterranean salad

1. We start by preparing the vinaigrette. In a bowl, add 2 parts extra virgin olive oil (50 ml.), 1 part white wine vinegar (25 ml.), and a little oil from the anchovies. We mix well.
2. We now continue chopping the aromatic herb, in this case peppermint. Add chopped (or crushed) garlic, salt to taste and mix well again. So that all the ingredients are integrated. We reserve some mint leaves to decorate at the end.

Assembly and presentation of the salad

2. We dress everything with the vinaigrette, decorate with the mint leaves, which we had reserved, and enjoy this delicious salad.

Tips for a delicious Mediterranean salad

• For the vinaigrette , a trick that I do at home is to transfer it to a glass jar, cover and shake vigorously. I also gave you a bottle of cooked food. This way everything emulsifies perfectly and leaves a soft and creamy texture. Try it, I’m sure you’ll like how it turns out.
• Since not everyone likes the same ingredients, it is possible to give it the personal touch that we want. Other options that would fit here would be a fresh cheese or Greek feta cheese, walnuts or pistachios, anchovies, fresh mint or basil. The beauty of cooking is the capacity for variation, so give free rein to your imagination.
• You can take this Mediterranean salad in a container, on a picnic or to work, with the vinaigrette in a jar. When you eat it, shake the jar, pour the dressing and add a little more. One more opportunity to eat healthy and healthy.
