Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.
Method
Wash all vegetables and pat them dry with a towel—condensation on wet veggies makes the salt run and the platter sweat.
Slice cucumbers1 into ¼-inch thick half-moons, tomatoes2 into wedges, bell3 peppers into ½-inch wide strips, and radishes4 in half.
Leave green5 onions in 4-inch lengths, and bunch dill6 and parsley7 in sprigs.
Arrange the veggies in clusters by type on a large platter, placing the herbs in the center; season with flaky sea salt just before serving.
Keep refrigerated for no more than 2 hours, or the tomatoes2 will start to weep.
Tips
- Why it works
- Огурцы нарезай вдоль брусочками, чтобы они не пустили воду и не размякли через 10 минут.
- Substitutions
- За болгарский перец возьми сладкий перец из банки (40 г), если он уже нарезан. Петрушку замени на кинзу (4 г) — вкус другой, но хруст тот же.
- Common mistakes
- Если помидоры на тарелке покроются липкой водой через 30 минут, значит, их нарезали слишком тонко или не обсушили.
- Storing and reheating
- Храни в холодильнике не дольше 2 часов. Перекладывай в герметичный контейнер, если ешь позже — соль не посыпай.
- Serve with
- Подавай к горячему мясу или рыбе, чтобы нейтрализовать жирность и добавить свежести.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
