My fave





haricot beans


spring onions, chopped


cherry toms, 1/4'd





dressed with olive oil, salt %26amp; pepper and a squeeze of lemonI am having a summer barbecue and i have no ideas for salds have you got any recipes?
A good and easy one is to put tomatoes cut in slices, baked peppers cut in pieces, some onion slices, parsley cut in small pieces and salt to your taste. If you have Feta cheese by accident, that would help a lot. Grate some and put it on top of everything
I take this to parties a lot, and it's always the first empty bowl. (not because I don't make enough LOL)





Pea Salad





Canned peas drained


minced onion


small cubed sharp cheddar cheese


mayo to moisten


splash of vinegar


tabasco to taste


Mix it up
my favourite its like a mediterranian one

i do a simple mozzerella salad. Very simple you just need mozzerella, tomatoes, basil, olive oil and black pepper.


Slice mozzerella and tomatoes and layer them so one slice mozzerella, one slice tomato and repeat add basil leaves as decoration then sprinkle with oil and black pepper.
just eat the plants in your garden...snails included
My fave, I make this and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days, makes a great light lunch too: Cook cous cous (with stock rather than water) Roast (or griddle) 2 sliced Aubergines, 4 sliced courgettes, 2 quartered red onions. 1 red and 1 yellow pepper, After they are cooked place in a bowl with Olive oil, basil and sliced garlic, allow to marinate over night (I like to eat the Aubergine and courgette at this stage). Chop roasted veggies into quite small pieces, add to couscous, add 2 parts balsamic vinegar to one part good olive oil, add salt and pepper and toss all ingredients, add a couple of chopped vine tomatoes or a few halved cherry tomatoes. This salad is best made the day before. For a change instead of couscous you can use a combination of wild rice and puy lentils
2 cups macaroni noodles (prepare as on the box)





2 cucumbers (peeled and cut up into chunks)


2 tomatoes (cut into chunks)


1 onion (cut into chunks too)





3 lbs shrimp (boiled and peeled)





mayonnaise to taste (about 2 to 3 cups)





salt and pepper to taste
This is a great salad I ate at a bbq: cook pasta (the screw like type -sorry forgot the shape name), cut canned mushrooms into halves,. Dice into small pieces some red onion and red and green bell peppers.





Put the pasta in a bowl, add the above ingredients plus a can of drained corn and sweet peas. Add mayo, lemon, salt and pepper to season. Leave in the fridge and serve cold. Absolutely delicious...enjoy!
What about noodle salad? You can cook the noodles, let them cool, add some Italian dressing and some chopped carrots or celery. It's good!
crunchy noodle salad








Fresh baby spinach


1 pkt fried noodles


1/4 cup vinegar


2 tablespoons sugar





Mix up prior to serving as if you leave it for hours the noodles will go soggy. This is really yummy.
How about a cole slaw?





Take a large cabbage, cut out the thick stem, cut the cabbage into quarters and then slice thinly. Place in a large bowl. Add thinly sliced and chopped sweet onions (two) a green pepper, deseeded and chopped into small pieces.


Mix well.





In a separate bowl whisk a cup of mayonnaise with the juice of a lemon, add salt and pepper to taste.





Pour the dressing over the salad and mix it in.





This makes a good accompaniment for just about any type of grilled meat or fish.





If you prefer something more eye-catching and flavorful, try a tomato/mozzarella/basil salad. Place sliced fresh tomatoes


on a large platter, top each slice with a knob of fresh mozzarella cheese. Add fresh whole basil leaves. Serve with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
Nobody seems to have mentioned Potato salad yet. Boil some potatoes (new are good), cut into bit-size chunks and while still a little warm and combine with spring onions, maybe a little parsely, some mayonnaise/yoghurt/dressing and plenty of black pepper.





Crunchy mixed salad:


Crisp salad leaves of various types, sliced red and yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes (halved if you can be bothered), radishes (quartered or sliced), and carrots - it works well if you use a peeler to make them into ribbons - all tossed together. Possibly best not to dress the salad, just have dressing, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper available for people to use if they want it. Leftovers also keep better that way.
Cook some long grain rice with a pinch of turmeric in the water then rinse under the tap to cool, toss in diced cucumber, peppers, pumpkin seeds, and fresh pomegranite, dress with raspberry vinegar and olive oil with some chopped coriander leaves. Looks lovely tastes great.





Cook some pasta spirals or shells, drain and while still hot stir in a jar of pesto, leave to cool then add sun dried tomatoes, black olives and mozzerello
I always make three salads:





Pasta salad: Pasta with tomato pasta sauce, sweetcorn, spring onion, sliced sausage and chorizo, served cold.





Crunchy Salad: Green and red salad leaves, red and yellow peppers, grated carrot, sweetcorn, cucumber, cherry tomatos





Rice salad: Cooked rice, red pepper, spring onion, few tablespoons tomato pasta sauce.





have fun! x

i have just made a simple rice salad- just boiled rice with a stock cube, then added sweetcorn red pepper, spring onion and halved cheery tomatoes- nice and simple but tasty and goes with everything, i also just made a coleslaw- grate white cabbage, carrot and chop red onion, then add mayo and lemon juice- makes a nice sharp contrast to rich sweet barbecue sauces


have fun
This is my own take on Waldorf salad...We jokingly call it '; Notdorf'; salad, but I'm trying to come up with a better name. It's a recipe I've come up with for a cooking class I'm teaching. Anyway, it's very simple.





2 anjou pears, peeled, cored, cut into chunks


3/4 c of blueberries


1 stalk of celery, sliced


a half-cup or so of walnuts


about a half-cup of organic whole milk vanilla yogurt


nutmeg to taste





Mix it all up in a bowl and chill.





This recipe serves about four, but you can increase the quantities as needed. I'd love to know what you think!
