This salad is perfect as an appetizer or side dish, making it an ideal choice for warm days or a light lunch. Healthy ingredients, fresh flavors, and a creamy dressing make this salad a delicious choice. Ingredients: - 1 piece of kohlrabi (approximately 300 g) - 1 piece of celery (approximately 200 g) - 2 medium carrots - 1/2 cucumber - 2 apples (preferably tart, such as Granny Smith) - 250 g pressed ham - 4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise - Juice of 1 lemon - Salt and pepper to taste Step by step: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by thoroughly washing all the vegetables and apples under cold running water. This is an essential step to remove pesticide residues and dirt. 2. Peeling and grating: Peel the kohlrabi, celery, carrots, and apples. Use a large grater to grate them. This will help achieve a crunchy texture and allow the dressing to stick better to your ingredients. 3. Cutting the ham: Cut the pressed ham into thin strips, julienne style. This will add a savory note and healthy proteins to your salad. 4. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add all the prepared ingredients: kohlrabi, celery, carrots, cucumber, apples, and ham. Gently mix to avoid crushing the vegetables. 5. Preparing the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the lemon juice. Mix well until you achieve a smooth sauce. The lemon dressing will add a fresh taste and prevent the apples from oxidizing. 6. Assembling the salad: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently mix to evenly coat all the ingredients. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. 7. Serving: The raw vegetable salad can be served immediately, but you can leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This is a versatile salad that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or as a side dish for fish dishes. Practical tips: - You can vary the ingredients by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or radishes for extra color and crunch. - If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the ham and add nuts or toasted seeds for added texture and nutrients. - Instead of mayonnaise, you can use natural yogurt for a lighter version of the dressing. This raw vegetable salad is not only healthy but also a true treat for the taste buds. Try personalizing it to your taste and enjoy a fresh dish, perfect for any occasion!
