Seaweed Vinaigrette

Seaweed Vinaigrette

Many people know that sea kale is useful, but not all include it in the diet regularly. The reason is the specific taste and smell of the product. However, if it is included in the composition of a multi-component salad, these disadvantages can be smoothed out. Seaweed vinaigrette is eaten even by those people who are not algae lovers. The benefits of snacks from the inclusion of kelp in its composition only increases.

Cooking Features

The technology of cooking vinaigrette with sea kale is as simple as the process of cooking a traditional salad of boiled vegetables and pickles. Knowing a few moments will make the result predictable and meet your expectations.

  • The word “vinaigrette” in the French dictionary is one-root to the word for vinegar. This name was given to the salad for a sour taste, which is given to it by salted and pickled foods or lemon juice in the sauce. Therefore, choosing algae to add to the appetizer, preference should be given to pickled sea kale. It is desirable that it was attended by fewer other additives in the form of vegetables. Seaweed salads with crab sticks, calamari and similar products will not do. If, for adding to a vinaigrette, you take a ready-made seaweed salad, let it be dressed with the same sauce as you plan to season the vinaigrette itself.
  • Usually, vegetables for a vinaigrette are boiled in uniform, but they can also be baked. This method of preparation will allow you to keep a maximum of useful substances contained in vegetables. Baked vegetables in comparison with boiled retain a brighter color.
  • It is necessary to cut products for a vinaigrette in neat cubes. From this it will not only become more beautiful, but also tastier.
  • If you don’t want the beets to color other vegetables red, you need to fill them separately and only then combine them with the other ingredients.

Served with sea kale salad as an independent dish or as a side dish to fish.
