To make your salads really healthy and healthy, you can prepare the dressing yourself according to the 10-30-60 rule. The infographic shows you how to do this.

Everyone associates salad with extremely healthy food, which must be eaten either for health or to lose weight. But few people will be happy to eat a salad without any dressing: most often they add mayonnaise or another sauce to the salad (if we lose weight, you can have a low-calorie one) and only then enjoy the food, which is no longer very healthy.

What is included in mayonnaise

What is mayonnaise, what does this sauce consist of, which makes all dishes tasty or at least edible? This mayonnaise contains olive oil, yolk, lemon juice, mustard and salt with sugar. The fat content of natural mayonnaise is about 80% (a nightmare for losing weight), but the sauces that the food industry offers us are very remotely reminiscent of their prototype.

Firstly, real mayonnaise, which contains only natural ingredients, is stored for no more than two weeks (and most likely even less). What is on the shelves in grocery stores can be stored for up to six months, which means that the product contains antioxidants, antioxidants and preservatives.

For example, in many mayonnaise sauces, the additive E385, or EDTA, is found, which is used in dentistry to treat the tooth: the substance washes out calcium from the dentin, due to which it becomes soft, which makes it easier to clean the dental canal. That is, the supplement flushes calcium out of the body, which, as you understand, is not good.

But even if you don't think about chemical additives and artificial flavors in sauces, according to statistics, 20% of these products on Russian counters turn out to be fake.

So, if you care about what goes into your healthy salad, you can ditch industrial chemical sauces and make your own dressings.

Formula 10-30-60 for salad dressing

Any dressing should consist of oil, acids, which can be vinegar or lemon juice (as in real mayonnaise), and additional ingredients, due to which unique, bright tastes are obtained.
