Plum Salad: A Sweet and Tangy Summer Delight
Refreshing Summer Salad Featuring Fresh Plums
Plums are a fantastic fruit for quenching thirst in the summer, as they are composed mostly of water. They boast an impressive nutritional profile: 9 times more Vitamin A than kiwis, twice the potassium of bananas, 13 times more iron than apples, and 5 times more soluble dietary fiber than apples. These health benefits make plums particularly good for women experiencing menopause or post-menopause. Enjoy them fresh, or transform them into jams, jellies, or even wine! To choose the best plums, look for ones with a glossy, firm skin and high sweetness. Today, we’ll be making a delightful Plum Salad. Its combination of crisp vegetables and sweet plums makes for the perfect appetite-boosting summer dish!
Salad Ingredients- 2 leaves Cabbage
- 1 leaf Red Cabbage
- 1/3 Cucumber
- A little Carrot
- 1.5 Tbsp Garlic Flakes
- 2 fresh Plums
- 1/2 cup Store-bought Greek Yogurt Dressing
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cabbage and red cabbage thoroughly and pat them dry. Then, thinly slice them into shreds. Shredding them thinly will enhance their crisp texture.
Step 2
Slice the cucumber into round pieces about 0.5 cm thick. For the carrot, use a small cookie cutter to create decorative shapes like flowers, which will make the salad look more appealing. (If you don’t have cookie cutters, thinly slicing them into rounds is also fine.)
Step 3
All the vegetable preparations are now complete. Fresh vegetables are the foundation for a delicious salad.
Step 4
Garlic flakes are dried garlic slices that have been fried or baked until crispy. They add flavor and texture to the salad. Using store-bought garlic flakes makes this step quick and easy.
Step 5
Place the shredded cabbage, red cabbage, sliced cucumber, and carrot in a bowl. Rinse them 2-3 times under cold water. This process will make the vegetables crisper and fresher. It’s important to drain them completely after rinsing.
Step 6
Wash the fresh plums, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters around the pit. Then, dice them into bite-sized cubes. The sweet and tangy flavor of the plums will wonderfully complement the salad.
Step 7
Arrange the drained vegetables attractively in the center of your serving bowl. Place the diced plums around the perimeter of the vegetables. Finally, sprinkle the garlic flakes over the center of the vegetables. Your beautiful and delicious Plum Salad is now complete! Serve it with the refreshing Greek yogurt dressing and enjoy.
