You’re invited to my BBQ, please bring your favourite salad/side, what will you bring?

[Frazzledmumclub]

As the title says what is your favourite salad/side to eat along side the sausages and steak!

(looking for new ideas as the extra are my favourite bit!!!)

Riverford Asian coleslaw. With red cabbage.

Either my friend's potato salad which has chopped red onion and boiled eggs through it, or a celeriac and apple remoulade which I find a nice change from coleslaw.

Grilled halloumi.

Skewers with veg of your choice.

Roasted baby potatoes with garlic and rosemary and sea salt.

Tomatoes and cucumber with feta cheese.

Homemade coleslaw with apples , red onion, carrots and cabbage.

White yogurt dip with garlic.

Cous cous, feta and pomegranate salad

Or

Baked sweet potatoes!

New potatoes dripping in butter!

I’d have to turn you away @Elphamouche . Cannot stand anything dripping or swimming in melted butter. 🤮

Can't believe tabbouleh is still a thing 😂was doing that in 87 at catering school. I personally would do a potato salad with chopped shallots and parsley. It has to be shallots and sherry vinegar with olive oil poured on while the potatoes are still warm.

Pretty sure tabbouleh has been around for centuries.

I’m all about desserts so I’d bring something like a trifle or other communal dessert. Or perhaps a school cake. Both are popular with fam and friends. I do also garlic hasselback potatoes especially with Jersey Royals.

BBQ corn ribs

Aaah I'm working class so obviously not up on these things, 😂when I was growing up salad was; lettuce,tomato ,cucumber, and home grown radishes,topped with salad cream 😁what I meant was that tabbouleh was ' fashionable ' in the eighties so we were serving that in the training restaurant, I'd never fucking heard of it lol.

Great thread! Even before I stopped eating meat the sides and salads were always my favourite.

Chickpea salad - chickpeas, black olives, red onion, tomatoes, parsley with vinaigrette dressing.

Pink coleslaw - just use red cabbage and it goes pink

Orzo with roasted butternut squash, broccoli, blue cheese, topped with toasted seeds and/or pomegranate seeds

Tabbouleh
New potatoes with lemon and mint

Celeriac remoulade. So easy to make and even people who are a bit meh about celeriac like it.

Grated carrot with lemon and parsley mixed through.

Marinated halloumi.

And I tried fattoush (not sure of spelling) from a Lebanese restaurant recently and it was so delicious!

Chickpea salad with feta and cherry tomatoes in a yogurt, mint and garlic dressing.

@NeilTayloriscatwit Neither had I in 1987! Still on Instant Whip back then! 🤣

Smashed potato salad

@Skethylita so you don't cook the leeks?

No, all raw. They belong to the onion family, so taste similar.

Baby spinach leaves, sliced strawberries, pine nuts, grated parmesan and thinly sliced onion, dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar...scrumptious!

Small elbow pasta boiled and cooled, sweetcorn, chopped sweet peppers I like to use one of each colour, mayo to cover-mix well and then a sprinkling of paprika on top. Pop into the fridge for at least an hour but preferably overnight for flavours to mellow.

German potato salad as taught to me by a family friend from munich.peel potatoes and cut into bit size pieces. Boil potatoes until soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. Set aside. In a frying pan, fry diced onions and diced bacon.
Boil a cup of water and dissolve a chicken stock cube into it. Add half a cup of vinegar to the liquid, and then pour the liquid into the drained potatoes. Add the bacon and onions to the potato mixture and mix. Now set aside so that the flavours can mix and mellow, and the potatoes can absorb the liquid. This salad will be much better the day after you make it, so pop it into the fridge and have patience :)

I've never tried it but I'm craving a potato salad with chorizo in it. I think it would be gorgeous so that.

Coleslaw - red onion, carrot, red cabbage, mixed herbs, mayo, lemon juice

Bbq'd corn on the cobs

Pasta salad - red pepper, cucumber, tomato, spinach, mint, mayo

Homemade coleslaw.
