I'm looking for some inspiration for some different, interesting salads for lunch?

I love nuts, olives, most cheeses, etc. Don't fancy fruit in a salad. Vegetarian, not fussy.

What Are your favourite salads?

Chicken mixed with mayonnaise, fresh tarragon, garlic powder, onion powder and toasted almonds on a bed of rocket.

I am obsessed with it.

My favourite salad is definitely Greek salad but I made a great chicken caesar salad with left over roast chicken today and it was lush! So easy to make the dressing too! 😁

Watermelon & feta with red onion. It's a Jamie Oliver recipe.
I add Parma ham but obviously that wouldn't be suitable for you.

Cucumber- dressing with dill & sour cream,
French beans with red onions and vinaigrette
Simply tomato & mozzarella
Green beans, new potatoes & chicken (or not) with a lovely honey & mustard dressing.
I always served with an interesting bread like crusty or sourdough.

I love a good Caesar salad. My favourite is one I don't know how to make but I but it. It's a pineapple salad with raspberry dressing. It has red onions and sweetcorn etc.

Pasta salad! My mum makes the best one with red pepper, green pepper, red onion, sweetcorn, kidney beans, pasta shells and a home made vinaigrette dressing.

Lentil, preserved lemon and beetroot - so tasty! I usually use a mustardy vinaigrette to flavour and some of the lemon liquid.

Harissa green beans and chickpeas with a quick homemade tomato sauce - cook it up and serve cold with crusty bread.

Southwest salad - sweetcorn, black beans, chopped tomato, avocado, red pepper and red or spring onion. Flavour with fresh coriander and lime juice.

Greek salad but try baking the feta in the oven with oregano and olive oil and adding to salad last minute.

I adore this salad! We can't stop making it... we have tried adding prawns and salmon to it as a nice main meal and it's just lovely.

Fattoush and tabbouleh salads are a firm favourite here!

Broad beans (removed from their little jackets, ideally), peas, fresh mint, lemon juice. Sometimes I add feta or parmesan, sometimes I add cubes of courgette or new potatoes.

Serve it like warm. It is fantastic.

Warm chicken ranch. Baby leaf salad, warm chicken and bacon and ranch dressing with parmesan. I suppose it's similar to a Caesar with a different dressing, more garlicky!
