For light spiciness and savoury, you can season the salad with mayonnaise mixed with a little mustard. I prepared Prague salad on the table for a meeting of relatives. The salad sold out very quickly, especially liked by men.

How to make Prague salad classic with bell pepper and beef? Prepare the products. For the preparation of lettuce, young beef or veal is better suited. The meat of the young animal will be softer and cook faster. Clipping or flesh will work. To give the salad a greater flavor, you can take bell peppers in red and yellow colors.

I took veal for salad. Wash the meat and be sure to dry with a paper towel, otherwise excessive moisture will not allow it to fry - it will be stewed. Cut the meat into small bars.

Peel, wash and finely chop the bulb onions into small cubes. To prevent the mucous eye from irritating when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you grate it with a piece of lemon before cutting.

In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil, put out the meat. Fry it over a high heat until ruddy, while turning the pieces over to fry evenly on all sides. Such roasting will preserve all the juices inside the meat.

Put the chopped onions to the meat, mix.

Continue cooking the meat over medium heat until tender, 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The meat should be well cooked. 5-10 minutes before cooked, salt it, add the ground black pepper and stir to combine. You can supplement the meat with other spices and spices (nutmeg, basil). Choose to your liking or presence.

Wash the bell peppers, remove the stalk and seeds. Cut into thin strips.

Also cut the pickled cucumbers into thin strips.

Wash the apple, peel the skin and seeds, cut similar to vegetables. Put the apple in a comfortable container, pour over the lemon juice so it doesn't darken. Shuffle. It is advisable to take apple sweet and sour type & quot; Simirenko & quot;. Its taste will give the salad a peculiar note.

Combine the roasted beef, chopped vegetables and apple. Season the salad with mayonnaise, mix. Put the salad on a dish or in a salad bowl, decorate with any greens if desired and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

The salad will look beautiful and neat if you cut all the ingredients into the same size and shape in pieces (for example, cubes).

Mayonnaise is better to cook on its own. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise. Also, not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt can be used as a dressing. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

Any oil is useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoke at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
