Good day to all my readers! Is it possible to lose weight quickly and tasty? Many dietary dishes are not able to cause a feeling of fullness for a long time. But there is one proven low-calorie salad that is very tasty. Believe me, after it you won’t want more for a long time - it’s a vinaigrette without potatoes. This dietary dish contains a storehouse of vitamins and fiber, and its calorie content is less than 100 kcal per 100 g. This salad is perfect for PP.
Vinaigrette came to our country from Europe. It was a salad of boiled vegetables, eggs and fish. But almost immediately its composition changed; cranberries and sauerkraut began to be added to it. This made the dish even more tasty and piquant. Nowadays they put boiled beets, carrots, potatoes, green peas, pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut in it. Vegetable oil is used as a dressing.
One of the secrets of taste is fine cutting of all ingredients. This way, the aroma of each component is revealed and such a salad looks much more beautiful.
I offer you a selection of recipes in which only a couple of ingredients were removed or replaced. The result is a simple, flavorful and light dish that you are sure to love!
What does it include?
The classic recipe requires the following ingredients:
- beet;
- new potatoes;
- carrot;
- salted cucumbers;
- onion;
- sauerkraut;
- canned green peas;
- vinegar;
- vegetable oil.
The calorie content of a classic dish can range from 80 to 130 kcal per 100 grams. Approximate values of BZHU: 1.7, 10.3, 8.2, respectively. Sometimes, if desired, boiled beef or an egg is added to the vinaigrette, in which case the amount of proteins will increase.

Despite the contraindications, a way out can always be found by replacing some products with others and making the vinaigrette safe for the body. For stomach diseases, pickled vegetables are usually replaced with fresh ones, and vinegar with vegetable oil.
Despite the relatively low calorie content, you can make the vinaigrette even more dietary.
Does vinaigrette make you fat?
Unlike dishes that are seasoned with mayonnaise, vinaigrette is less harmful to the figure. It is hardly possible to recover from it - the main thing is not to overeat and not to eat at night.
