Veal heart is a low-calorie and dietary by-product. It is much healthier than meat: it contains a minimum of cholesterol, a maximum of vitamins, and the amount of proteins is equal. These properties allow the heart to be used for the preparation of dietary meals. The main thing is to choose a high-quality product, since only such one can boast of solid performance. Therefore, when buying a heart, pay maximum attention to its color. Buy a heart only dark red. If you see plaque and stains, then bypass such a product. This says that a purulent process has begun.
In the culinary world, the heart is used to prepare all kinds of hot soups, main courses, snacks, pastries, and, of course, salads. Let's talk about the latter in this review. Salads, this is perhaps the most extensive section of cooking, so there are so many of them that you simply cannot count them. And the heart is a great product that harmonizes well with many products. The most common and inexpensive combination of ingredients is carrots and onions.

Step by step preparation of veal heart salad:
1. Soak the heart in cold water for about 3 hours. After that, rinse it well, put it in a cooking pot, fill it with drinking water and put it to boil. After boiling, drain the water, rinse again, fill with clean water and send to cook again for 3 hours. If foam forms during cooking in water, remove it with a spoon. Season with salt about an hour before removing from the stove, however, this option is optional, you can also salt the finished dish.
2. After the heart is cooled, cut in half and cut out all ducts and vessels. Cut the prepared meat into strips or cubes.
3. Simultaneously with cooking the heart, cook the carrots. Therefore, wash it, fill it with water and cook for 40 minutes. I draw your attention to the fact that carrots should be boiled in the peel. After that, peel and cut it in the usual way.
4. Since the heart and carrots take a long time to cook, so prepare them well in advance, for example in the evening, so that they still have time to cool. And when you decide to cook a salad, do onions. Peel it, rinse and chop into half rings. Place in a deep bowl, add sugar, vinegar and pour boiling water over. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes. Hot water will soften it and remove the bitterness.
5. Combine all prepared foods and season with mayonnaise. Stir and taste. Season with salt if necessary.
