A very tasty recipe - mackerel under a fur coat
A very popular salad is herring under a fur coat. I suggest changing the recipe a little and using mackerel instead of herring. This tender, fatty fish goes well with vegetables.
If you use smoked mackerel, the dish will acquire a new piquant taste.
Products for the recipe:
- potatoes - 3 pcs.
- mackerel - 1 pc.
- carrots - 1 pc. medium size
- eggs - 5 pcs. (keep 2 egg whites for decoration)
- beets - 1 pc. medium size
- mayonnaise
Cooking method:
You need to boil, cool and peel the potatoes, carrots, beets and eggs in advance. Remove the insides of the mackerel, cut off the head and tip of the tail, and remove the skin. Separate the fish pulp from the bones.
When forming the salad, you can use a serving ring, but you can do without it. The main thing is to lay out the products in layers. All vegetables and eggs will need to be grated on a coarse grater, and the mackerel cut into small pieces. Before you start laying out the food, you need to put a mayonnaise mesh on the dish, and then apply it to each layer of food.
Layer order:
- potato;
- mackerel;
- carrot;
- eggs (don't forget to leave 2 whites for decoration);
- beet;
- apply a streak of mayonnaise. Place the whites, grated on a fine grater, along the edge of the salad.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours to soak thoroughly.
Italian salad with sea cocktail and white wine
Do you want to have a romantic dinner? You won't find a better dish! This wonderful light salad is ideal for dates and candlelit dinners.
To prepare the Italian salad you will need the following products:
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 bunch of arugula
- 300 g shrimp
- 100 ml dry white wine
- 4 tbsp. spoons of olive oil
- 1 lemon
- salt, pepper and other seasonings - to taste
This recipe uses Chardonnay wine, but you can choose any variety that suits your taste. Let's start preparing the Italian salad:
- Add bay leaf to the wine, put on fire, bring to a boil.
- Pour the pre-cooked seafood cocktail into the wine removed from the stove. There it should soak for about 10 minutes.
- Pass the seafood through a colander and drain the wine.
- Prepare a dressing with olive oil, salt and lemon juice.
- Wash and dry the arugula and place on a serving plate.
- Place sea cocktail on top of arugula.
- Pour over the dressing, no need to stir.
For serving, you can use lemon slices or other tropical fruits.
We follow the rules
To make salads suitable for a period of weight loss, you should follow the rules of dietary cooking:
- The ingredients are not fried with oil. The salad components are boiled (optionally, steamed or baked in the oven).
- Fatty sauces for dressing, such as mayonnaise or vegetable oil in large quantities, are excluded. The best options are 10% sour cream or other low-fat dairy products.
- Minimum salt. On a diet, it is important for the body to get rid of not only fat deposits, but also the stagnation of excess fluid, which provokes excessive consumption of salt in a traditional diet. The taste is adjusted with lemon juice, spices, and herbs.
- More light ingredients - vegetables, herbs, original fruit additives.
- To determine the calorie content of a finished dish, you should carefully study the calorie content of all its ingredients. The more calories, the less dietary the product is considered.
Important! Calorie content of products is indicated per 100 g. Salt and seasonings are added to dishes to taste.

How to cook:
To layer the layers of salad you need to make a sauce. Place capelin caviar in a bowl, add mayonnaise, mix well.
Place a serving ring on a flat dish. If this is not the case, then you can use the sides of the baking dish. Layer the salad in the following order:
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs, cut into strips, and place in the first layer. Place the sauce in a plastic bag, form a cone, and make a small hole. Gently squeeze the sauce over the eggs.
- The next layer is boiled squid, cut into thin slices. Spread a generous layer of sauce over the squid.
- Place the potato chips in a separate plate and crush them with your hands. But you don’t need to grind the flour, you should get small pieces. Place the crushed chips on the squid and level it, pressing lightly with your hands. There is no need to cover this layer with sauce.
- Cut the cheese into thin slices, place on the chips, and generously coat with sauce.
- Unfold the crab sticks slightly and separate the red part. It will be needed for decoration.
- Cut the white part, place them in the next layer, apply the remaining sauce. Decorate the salad with thin strips of the red part of the crab sticks.

If you want to keep the layer of chips crispy, prepare the dish no more than 2-3 hours before serving.

Secrets of being slim
Excess weight appears when a person receives more energy from food than he processes in a day. This is facilitated by regular consumption of fatty, floury, sweet foods in quantities larger than required.
Accordingly, to lose weight, it is necessary to start the reverse process: the body must receive less energy from food than it requires. The deficiency will be compensated by the breakdown of fats stored “for a rainy day.”
Important! If a person spends 2000 kcal per day, then to lose weight he should “eat” no more than 1700. Calculation of energy exchange is carried out individually, taking into account the gender, age and physical activity of the person.
To reduce the caloric content of the diet, it is composed of low-fat foods. Seafood combined with herbs, vegetables and seasoned with low-fat sauces is an excellent example of low-calorie dietary dishes. Dietary seafood salads can be included in the menu of any diet - protein, carbohydrate, Japanese, Brazilian, vegetable.

Reviews: “Try it with squid and shrimp”
Last year in Riga I tried an amazing salad: boiled shrimp + grapes (seeds removed) + dill + mayonnaise. Mmmm, I was overeating!! Be sure to try it!
labtec, https://club.passion.ru/obmen-retseptami/salaty-moreproduktov-t64577.html
Boil seafood (squid, shrimp, octopus, mussels, no less than 2 sets) until tender, cool. Peel 2 avocados and cut into cubes. Fill with dressing. Preparing the dressing - mix the juice of 1 lemon with 3 tablespoons of sugar and salt (1-3 teaspoons), crush garlic to taste (2-4 cloves) with a garlic press - beat the whole mixture with a whisk, gradually pour in olive oil, stir again. Ground black pepper to taste. Greens to taste. Season it and let it brew for a bit. Delicious. I once mistakenly bought mango instead of avocado. So, with mango, the salad tastes much better to me. Now I buy 2 mangoes, peel them, take out the bones and cut them into cubes. Add 1-2 more cans of olives (drain and place in a colander).

The benefits of seafood
Seafood is an incredibly healthy product, and also a dietary one. Seafood has more protein than meat and is much easier to digest. You can enjoy seafood as often as you want, putting aside concerns about harm to your figure. Diets based on squid, mussels, and shrimp meat are considered the healthiest.
From seafood you can get polyunsaturated fatty acids, all vitamins and microelements important for the body. Regular consumption of seafood has a positive effect on health, and even on appearance. The table will tell you more about their benefits.
Table - Benefits of seafood for the body
| Product | Benefit |
| Shrimps | — Support of heart function; - beneficial effect on the thyroid gland; — improvement of metabolism; - antioxidant effect |
| Squid | — Development of muscle fibers; — normalization of metabolism; — improvement of the gastrointestinal tract; - removal of excess liquid |
| Mussels | — Strengthening the immune system; - beneficial effect on the circulatory system; - liver support |
| Octopuses | — Normalization of the nervous system; — strengthening the immune system; - improved vision; — slowing down the aging process; - cholesterol regulation |
To get the maximum benefit, mix different seafood in your dishes. It is not necessary to buy a ready-made mixture (as a rule, it is not of the best quality): make a “cocktail” yourself.
