Salad is originally a very healthy dish eaten by athletes before competitions. Salads with greens allowed them to keep in shape, while saturating the body with vitamins and minerals. Gradually, the concept of the salad changed. The dish became more nourishing, less healthy.
Now in salads you can often find an abundance of mayonnaise and other harmful sauces. How to make a salad more healthy?
It is worth replacing the dressing with a more dietary dressing. For example, such dressings include those based on olive oil. For a more pronounced flavor, mustard is added to the oil.
If you want to make the taste of the sauce slightly sweeter and more interesting, you need to use honey in the dressing. It will soften the bitterness of mustard. Wine vinegar will spice up the salad.
