Summer is the season of the year during which we may enjoy the taste of many seasonal vegetables and herbs as well as prepare healthy salads, rich in vitamins and minerals. Tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce are popular ingredients of summer salads. Light and delicious vegetable meals can be supplemented by products rich in proteins, e.g. eggs, salmon or cheese. Salads are a great solution when we want to eat a colorful, healthy meal, prepared in a few minutes. They are also a perfect side dish of grilled meats or potatoes roasted in a bonfire and for that reason they are indispensible during outdoor social meetings. It is wise to remember, however, not to mix fresh cucumber with tomatoes. Enzymes contained in cucumbers “kill” vitamin C from tomatoes.
