Step by step preparation of a fresh vegetable salad with flax seeds and sesame seeds:
1. Wash the white cabbage and remove the top leaves. they are usually spoiled and weathered. Cut the necessary part from the head of cabbage with a sharp knife, finely chop it into strips. To make the salad juicier, sprinkle the cabbage lightly with salt and crush with your hands several times. She let the juice in, and the salad will be much tastier and juicier. Send the chopped cabbage to a deep salad bowl.
2. Wash cucumbers and dry with a paper towel. Cut off the ends on both sides and cut into thin quarters into rings or half rings, about 3 mm thick. Send the cucumbers to the salad bowl.
3. Rinse the apple with cold water and dry it with a towel. Remove the seed core with a special knife. Cut the fruit into medium-sized strips or cubes (to your liking) and send to the bowl with the vegetables. The apple does not need to be peeled, unless you are using a sour variety. Then it is better to peel the peel. For the same reason, I recommend using sweet and sour apples for salad.
4. Wash green onions, dry with a paper towel and chop finely. Add it to a bowl with all foods.
If desired, add any fresh green herb to the dish: dill, parsley, cilantro, arugula, basil.
5. Add flax and sesame seeds to the vegetables. Adjust their number to your liking. I took a teaspoon with a slide. I do not dry the seeds, so they are better saturated with oil and will complement vegetables well. But another thing is more important, in fried form, they are certainly tastier, but during heat treatment they lose up to 95% of useful properties.
Flax seeds can also be ground into powder in a coffee grinder and thus added to not only salads, but also baked goods, cereals or yoghurts. But powdered seeds oxidize quickly, so only use freshly ground seeds.
Then add grain mustard to the salad, it will add light spiciness and piquancy to the dish. If you don't have one, then use mustard paste. But it should be added to the salad in a different way. First, in a small container, combine vegetable oil with mustard paste and stir the food with a fork until smooth. Season the salad with the resulting sauce.
6. Salt fresh vegetable salad with flax seeds and sesame seeds, pour over with vegetable oil (preferably fragrant) and stir. Serve it straight to the table. Such a dish is not prepared earlier and for future use.
