Salads without needing lots of fresh ingredients?

[Musicalstatues]

I really need to eat more salady type food, however, as I’m basically the only one in the house who will eat salads I was looking for ideas that are maybe based around tinned or store cupboard ingredients so that I don’t end up with lots of fresh food that goes to waste!

Thank you!

Fresh ingredients that don’t go off as fast as bagged salad leaves, such as carrots and white and red cabbage grated into a slaw.

Tinned beans such as cannelini and flageolet.

Jars of olives and mini gherkins.

Jars of grilled peppers and artichoke hearts. Look in small ethnic shops.Polish and Turkish are great for these. Beware anything in oil if this is for weight loss.

Grow your own leaves on a window sill and cut as required?

Salad items like chicory and fennel and celery last longer than bagged leaves. They last ages in the fridge, as do red peppers.

Apples, celery, walnuts = salad.

Carrots, beetroot and butternut squash all last a long time.
This is a delicious carrot and beetroot salad www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2390644/carrot-and-beetroot-salad
This salad uses carrots along with feta cheese (which keeps for a while), sweet potatoes and packet lentils realfood.tesco.com/recipes/sweet-potato-lentil-and-feta-salad.html

Don't forget about frozen veg!
This beetroot salad recipe uses frozen broad beans www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1203/beetroot-bean-and-feta-salad
And this delicious salad uses frozen peas www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/halloumi-pea-salad
Broccoli salads are great and there are loads to choose from. Some of them use uncooked broccoli, but the ones that require cooking could easily be made with frozen broccoli. www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5174/spicy-chicken-salad-with-broccoli
Sainsburys do a frozen packet of mixed chargrilled Mediterranean veg which is great for cooking and adding to a couscous salad with chickpeas or crumbled feta cheese.

I make this black bean and sweetcorn salad with tins of both, and add a tin of tuna. allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/1004/black-bean-and-sweetcorn-salad.aspx

Really simple but nice. I've made this for decades- you can leave out the parsley or add some dried green herbs or use spring onions instead of red onion. Sometimes I add tomatoes and a few tinned sardines on the side to make a complete meal.
