Simple, quick, and surprisingly tasty — the "Three Glasses" salad is made from accessible ingredients, but due to the successful combination of ingredients, it invariably makes an impression and is suitable for both everyday meals and festive tables.
Why the Salad is Named This Way
The name of the appetizer speaks for itself: the main ingredients are taken in equal proportions — one glass each. This approach simplifies preparation and eliminates the need for precise measurements.
Ingredients
To prepare the salad, you will need:
- canned beans — 1 glass
- seedless grapes — 1 glass
- croutons — 1 glass
- sour apple — 1 piece
- garlic — 2 cloves
- lemon juice — 1 tsp
- mayonnaise — to taste
How to Prepare
First, drain the canned beans in a sieve to remove excess liquid. It is better to use croutons made from black bread — you can make them yourself by cutting the bread into cubes and lightly frying them in vegetable oil.
Depending on the size of the grapes, leave them whole or cut them in half, then combine them with the beans. Cut the apple into cubes and sprinkle it with lemon juice separately to prevent browning, then add it to the mixing bowl.
Press the garlic into the salad, dress it with mayonnaise, and gently mix. Add the croutons at the very end — just before serving, to keep their crunchy texture.
Why This Salad is Good
The "Three Glasses" salad successfully combines the sweetness of grapes, the tartness of the apple, the heartiness of the beans, and the spiciness of garlic. It can be prepared in just a few minutes, does not require complex techniques, and is perfect as a quick snack for guests.
