Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    To begin with, I suggest preparing a dressing. In a saucepan, mix olive oil, wine vinegar and honey. Honey should be liquid, otherwise it will be difficult to mix it with the rest of the ingredients in the dressing.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Rinse lettuce leaves under running water and shake off excess moisture. Tear the leaves into small pieces with your hands. For this purpose, of course, you can use a knife. Place on a serving dish.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Wash and peel the carrots. The least waste will be obtained if you peel carrots with a special vegetable peeler. With her help, I also prepared the thinnest carrot slices. Instead of a vegetable peeler, you can try to chop carrots as thinly as possible with a knife. Put the carrots on a plate.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    The pumpkin should be washed and cleaned of the hard skin, as well as seeds and all inedible insides. With the help of the same vegetable peeler, I prepared slices from pumpkin. Put the pumpkin slices on a serving dish. Add salt to the salad to taste.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Wash the apple and cut into thin slices. Decorate a salad with them. Sprinkle the dish with pomegranate seeds on top and fill with the previously prepared olive oil-based dressing.

The convenience of eating salad will ultimately depend on the method of slicing raw vegetables. After all, both pumpkin and carrots in their raw form are very solid products. That's why I suggest using a vegetable peeler to slice these vegetables.
In this case, pumpkin and carrot slices turn out to be the thinnest, so they are convenient to eat. Plus, thanks to this slicing of vegetables, the salad turns out very crispy.
Refueling here is very spicy, but easy. The taste of the vegetables themselves is preserved, they are not interrupted by dressing. I think it would be nice to decorate a salad with pumpkin seeds or, for example, pine nuts. It is delicious, healthy and very beautiful!
Such a light vitamin salad is suitable for vegetarians, people who watch their weight, and it is also ideal in fasting.
Bon appetit!
