2. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Set aside. First cut the washed and dried cucumber lengthwise, then into half circles.

3. Let's move on to preparing the sauce for the dressing. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Then add olive and sesame (if using) oil, salt to taste and 1/2 tbsp. l. toasted sesame seeds. Whisk until emulsified.

4. Now let's move on to the red fish. It must be cleared of bones and cut into cubes or slices.

Salad without mayonnaise “Tender Mandarin”

New Year's salad doesn't have to be heavy and very filling. I present to your attention a recipe for a light dish without mayonnaise.

Ingredients:

• Chicken fillet 1 piece (about 200 g)
• Lettuce leaves approximately 100 g.
• Mandarin 3 pcs.
• Salad onion 1/2 not large
• Salt, pepper, oregano - for chicken

Refueling:

• Honey 2 tbsp. l.
• Soy sauce 3 tbsp.
• Ready mustard beans 1 tsp.
• Olive oil 5 tbsp. l.
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method of preparation: Rub chicken fillet with salt and pepper, add oregano. Place the meat on greased parchment paper, wrap and fry in a hot frying pan.

Fry the chicken on both sides until done. Meat baked in this way turns out very juicy and tender. Cut the onion into half rings. Peel the tangerine and cut into rings without dividing into slices.

Cut the finished chicken fillet into thin pieces.

We collect the salad. Place lettuce leaves on a plate and meat slices on top. Divide the tangerine rings into pieces convenient for you and add to the salad. Add the onion last.

Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, mustard, vegetable oil and honey. Salt the mixture to taste. If desired, you can add a few drops of lemon juice.

The “Tender Mandarin” salad is ready.
