What is the secret of the popularity of this plant? To eat it started back in ancient Rome as an additional element to various dishes. But even now a familiar dish can have a completely new taste if you add a little arugula to it, or even add it to the refueling.
In our country this kind of salad begins to become more popular. Fashionable restaurants in vain offer their visitors dishes based on it, and the beneficial properties of the plant is already known to almost everyone.
We, too, will not stand aside and tell you a few salads with rucola, which will certainly enter the menu for the holiday.
Salad with rucola and prawns
When preparing any such dish, you need to take into account one important factor - the leaves of the plant very quickly start up the juice, so you should not prepare a salad in advance. And the hand itself needs to be grinded by hands, and not cut with a knife. Young and not too large shoots even use the whole.
We take the following products:
- arugula - 250 g
- shrimp - 10 pcs.
- cherry tomatoes - 200 g
- olive oil
- basil, a little chili pepper for refueling
- Balsamic vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.
- grated Parmesan - 50 g
Getting Started
- First of all, we prepare the products. My tomatoes and cut in half. Rukkola is also washed under a stream of cold water and let dry. Prawns are boiled and cleaned from the shell.
- To refuel you need to take chili (pre-crushed). I mix it with olive oil and favorite spices. Add the same cut into small pieces of basil. This mixture should be poured into shrimps and sent to the refrigerator for thirty minutes.
- The serving of the dish is quite simple. At the bottom of the flat plate lay a layer of arugula, on it evenly put the tomatoes and water it all with a dressing. A little sprinkled with Parmesan, and shrimp string on skewers and paste into the salad in random order.
With tuna
This salad is especially useful to eat in the fall, when the body has not yet got used to the idea that the summer is over, and everyone begins to suffer from spleen. The explosion of taste will add to you positive emotions and moods.
Prepare the components of the salad:
- tuna - 2 cans
- arugula - 50 g
- cucumber - 1 pc.
- tomatoes - 2 pcs.
- olives - 1 pot
- olive oil
- half a lemon
Preparing this salad is very simple. You need to knead the fork with fish, and immediately put it in a deep plate. There, too, cut vegetables in small slices of arbitrary shape and size. Olives cut in half and poured out to the rest of the ingredients. Rukkola wash and dry. If necessary, it can be broken into several pieces by hand and put in a bowl.
Refueling, too, does not require much effort. From the lemon squeeze the juice (you can do it directly in a plate with a salad mixture). In addition, pour olive oil and mix. Most often, salt and pepper the dish is not necessary because of the salinity of tuna. But you can try the dish before serving, and if desired, add a little.
A similar salad from arugula is also prepared with avocado. Only as a dressing, you need to mix olive oil with mustard and black pepper.
