Sometimes you want to pamper yourself and your loved ones with some simple but tasty dish that is easy to prepare and does not require the use of expensive products. Or there is an unplanned arrival of guests, but there is no money to prepare a luxurious feast. In such situations, cheap salad recipes will come to the rescue. Don’t be embarrassed by this wording, because cheap doesn’t mean bad. This is especially true for cooking. Of course, there is no need to buy products of the lowest quality, since a cheap salad only means replacing expensive products with more affordable, but no less tasty and quality products. Also, for cheap salads, vegetables, meat or fruits that can be bought at the nearest store are mainly taken, and not products from elite supermarkets.
When it comes to replacing expensive products with cheaper ones, there are many different options available. So, instead of turkey meat, you can take regular chicken meat, expensive crab meat can be replaced with crab sticks, capelin caviar can be used instead of red caviar, and liver will also cost much less than any meat. If a salad recipe requires mussels, it is unlikely that you can replace them with anything; you will just have to choose the most inexpensive brand. Although such a product is quite rare in cheap salads. Lime and papaya can be replaced with regular lemon and melon respectively. When it comes to cheeses and sausages, you can take a closer look at lesser-known manufacturers offering products at a competitive price.
In general, cheap salads can be anything: vegetable, meat, fruit or fish. For an inexpensive vegetable snack, you may need carrots, beets, cabbage or potatoes. Owners of summer cottages are especially lucky: summer period you can pick tomatoes, cucumbers and all kinds of greens straight from the garden and make a delicious, cheap salad. For low-budget meat salads, chicken or inexpensive sausage is most often used. A simple and tasty fish appetizer can be prepared from canned sprats, mackerel or sardines in oil.
General principle There is no such thing as making cheap salads. From inexpensive products you can prepare a variety of salads: regular, puff, or the ingredients of which are laid out in slides. Depending on the products used, different dressings are used: mayonnaise, sour cream, vegetable oil or various sauces.
