Does anyone have any good salad recipes?
I'm trying to eat healthy things at the moment so would like to make salads for lunch and stuff. I had a lovely one from Sainsbury's today

Red onion (chopped very fine)
feta
Red pepper
Avocado
Cucumber
Grated carrot
half romaine/half spinich leaves, sweet onions, cherry tomatos, garlic croutons, raisens, shredded carrotts, green pepper, feta and a parmesan pepper cream dressing. Oh yes, thats what makes the salad
Or switch the feta to chedder and a tomato bacon dressing
I think, just throw a bunch of vegitables in with some lettuce (not iceberg, ewww with as much nutritional value as water
Sometimes when I run out of things a salad with tomatos, onions and crutons suffices too.
People have different views on 'Salad'
Cos my sister will say 'Oh yeah i had a pizza, but i put some salad with it' (which will be like a leaf of lettuce and some cucumber)
Whereas my mum will just put loads and loads of these green leaves on the table and call that a salad.
My good recipe would be
Lightly grilled chicken in strips
Cucumber sliced
Red, Yellow and Green peppers sliced and diced
Grated carrot
Ice burge lettuce
Grated cheeese
Little bits of bacon
Maybe a bit of beetrot ?
my favs are chicken caesar salad (not healthy though)
chicken
streaky bacon
anchovies
leaves
croutons
dressing (i make my own)
parmesan
To make croutons cut bread into small pieces and sprinkle with paprika. Spray with oil and bake until they are crunchy
The dressing also makes a really good pasta salad
1/5 th iceberg lettuce
4 boiled egg whites
2 grated carotts
tbsp grated mature chedder
I had a lovely one today consisting of...
Nice chicken strips with flavour on
Mixed lettuce - it had allsorts in it, spinach, rocket, etc.
Chopped spring onion
A bit of pasta
Cucumber
Cherry Tomatos
Low fat french dressing
Calling it 'tomato' probably amounts to false advertising. Some would say that one upon a time, many moons ago they were actually tomatoes. Until they were forgotten, locked away from the world in a little tin eventually resulting in congealed crap vaguely resembling the shape of a tomato but otherwise indistinguashable. The chopped ones are great for making sauces though :cool:
How people have them on cooked breakfast I have no idea :yuck:
baby salad leaves
halloumi
lardons
pine nuts
cucumber
sping onion
garlic and herb dressing
Mmmm that sounds lush...minus the lardons cos I'm a veggie.
I don't tend to eat salds really, they just don't fill me up and I'm trying to put a bit of weight on at the moment!
But if I do have one, I usually use mixed lettuce leaves (with rocket etc), cherry tomatoes, cucumber and whatever else is around. Usually top that with some grilled strips of halloumi and some mango dressing or something.
You just ent eating them right. Get a tin of tomatoes (not chopped ones, plum tomatoes), open tin, pour into bowl, zap in microwave, salt and pepper, dash of cream, stir and eat with a spoon. goooooooooooooooood
I find some cubes of cheese are nice in salads.
A really simple Salad I like is medium cheddar cheese, cucumbers, and tomatoes all cut into the same sized cubes .. makes a good midnight snack ..
Small jacket potato
Fried strips of chicken in a teensy bit of oil with fresh chillis, onions, peppers and seasoning.
Made my own gaucamole from scratch -so yum!
Baby salad leaves
Cucumber
tomatoes
etc.
Guacamole is delicious.
recipe
Grilled chicken
Iceberg lettuce with bits of rocket chucked in coz we're a fussy family
Boiled new potatoes
Sweetcorn
Cherry Tomatoes
Beetroot
Grated Carrot
Grated Cheese or cubes of mozarella
Onions
Cucumber and
Boiled Eggs.
Bit like a Nicoise salad but without the tuna and random other bits. So not really like a Nicoise at all. Anyways, its really filling and Lurvely, especially if you make a vinegarette for it
That sounds ridiculously nice.
Please tell me you always make it from scratch, its one of those items I cant believe comes in pre-made form.
I know and I think its nicer when you make it yourself
1 very ripe avocado (you can tell it's ripe by squishing down the top and if it oozes or is really soft then it's ready)
chopped tomatoes.. I use cherry and use maybe 5 or 6
finely chopped onion (red or white).. maybe half a medium onion is enough.
finely chopped fresh chilli (no seeds)
handful of chopped fresh corriander
squeeze of lime juice
salt
Chop and mash! lol. I guess you could whizz it with a hand blender or something but I prefer it a bit rough.
**sniggers**
Cheers for the recipe though, love guacamole with fajitas. :thumb:
