To cook a healthy and moderately high-calorie dinner, you need vegetables, herbs, cheese, meat, fish, eggs, a little imagination and time. Of course, we will talk about salads. They are healthy, nutritious and can be cooked all year round using seasonal vegetables. To preserve the aroma and taste of the food, the food should be cut immediately before use. And for dressing instead of mayonnaise, use sour cream, natural yogurt or olive oil. You can be creative and make a complex component filling. For example, combine yogurt with chopped garlic, beat butter with yolk and mustard, and add grated horseradish to sour cream. These dressings will add a spicy flavor to the dish.
Today we will prepare a salad of vegetables and processed cheese with a poached egg. What is good about this salad is that with the same products it turns out to have a different taste. For example, if you take a pink tomato, then the appetizer will have one flavor, red, cream or cherry variety - another. If you use not the classic cream cheese, but with flavors such as bacon, garlic, herbs, pepper, paprika, sun-dried tomatoes, then the taste of the salad will change. Fans of experiments in the kitchen should take this salad into service and experiment with varieties of tomatoes and cheeses. Even with one ingredient, you can make the salad play in a new way.

Step-by-step preparation of vegetable and cream cheese salad with poached egg, recipe with photo:
1. Boil poached eggs. There are many different ways to do this, which you can find on the pages of the site. I prefer to use the microwave more. To do this, fill a cup with water and release one egg so as not to damage the yolk. Microwave it for 1 minute at 850 kW.
2. Cut the processed cheese into cubes about 1-1.5 cm in size. If the cheese is hard to cut, soak it in the freezer for 15 minutes. It will freeze a little, become denser and easily cut.
3. Wash cucumbers, dry and cut into thin half rings of 2-3 mm.
4. Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut into slices.
5. Wash the bell peppers, cut off the tail, clean the seeds and cut into strips.
6. Wash greens, dry and finely chop. Peel and chop the garlic.
7. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and olive oil. Mix well. Divide the vegetable and cream cheese salad into bowls and add a poached egg to each serving. This dish is perfect for a morning meal or a late evening dinner.
