The most delicious thing with chicken in a salad is thinly sliced mango

I'd not call that a salad.

Cold chicken
mushrooms
eggs
hummus
lettuce
red pepper?
cucumber
potato salad

If it were me, I'd have either chicken eggs or hummus.

Not all 3.

It would last me for the whole day, because I'd have the chicken 'salad' for lunch, the 2 eggs for breakfast, and the hummus (with some more salad) for supper.
Plus some fruit and yoghurt.

Never has a username been less appropriate

I assume the chicken is left overs from your Sunday roast five days ago?

Mushrooms are slimy and taste of mould.

Has nobody been on yet to tot up the amount of calories in your salad? Don't you know that mayonnaise alone has 4,000 calories per tsp? You could have replaced the houmous with some ground up soil and spit, far fewer calories! And just half a boiled egg would have been more than enough. Replace your potato salad with some more cucumber rolled in muller light and you'll have a much healthier meal!

Looks like you mostly forgot the actual salad.

Verv · 02/06/2023 13:51

Oh, I couldn't possibly eat all of that, certainly not while im trying to keep myself trim and attractive to DH.

There’s half a bag of mixed leave under there!

No - far too much protein and not enough leafy and raw vegetables.

MedievalMadness · 02/06/2023 13:56

Not enough information to make an informed decision re massiveness. What is the diameter of the bowl and its depth .

ToeJammed · 02/06/2023 14:00

This is what a massive salad looks like to me 😛

HarpyValley · 02/06/2023 14:03

Is "mushrooms on salad" the new "pineapple on pizza"?

(I'm a fan of both, FTR.)

ChiChaNaYubi · 02/06/2023 12:38

6 minutes :)

Need more details please.

6 minutes boiling or simmering?
Lid on or off?
Start with cold/warm/boiling water?
Do you add anything to the water?

On the salad - dh makes a lovely salad that can feed a whole street party or just the two of us. I'll take a picture next time :-)

Oh goody, another food thread. Not long now until someone comes along to tell us they couldn't possibly eat two eggs in one sitting.

I couldn't possibly eat two eggs in one sitting.😜

I think we need a diagram.

And we need to know if you’re on a 6-figure salary with a 6ft 4 DH, if you have strapping twin teenaged DSs who play rugby 8 days a week, and a rescue DDog. Where do you buy your DClothes? If it’s Toast, Seasalt, Joules or Boden, congratulations, it’s a MN DSalad. If it’s Primark then you are responsible for the obesity crisis in the DNHS.

Fizbosshoes · 02/06/2023 14:06

Wow. I didn't realise the MN salad police were so strict.
I never knew there were so many rules about salad apart from it has to be massive

Can not the OPS and @Gribbit987 meals both be salad...just different....?

FeelingwearyFeeelingsmall · 02/06/2023 14:06

That's NOT a massive salad. That's a small salad hiding under a lot of other stuff.

FeelingwearyFeeelingsmall · 02/06/2023 14:07

@ToeJammed

thats most of your 5 a day right there.

We need a cross section!

You win the thread.

SpringIntoChaos · 02/06/2023 14:15

Way way too much...can't even afford eggs these days😨

Bunce1 · 02/06/2023 14:16

That’s not a salad! It’s a heavy meal. Too many flavours and the textures/tastes would be mangled. It’s a no from me.

My salad-
mixed leaves, loads.
choped up
red onion, cucumber, charred tender stem broccoli, cooled. cherry toms, black olives, avocado, fresh basil, shredded red cabbage and grated carrot, mandolined radishes, You could add one of these-
roasted shredded chicken
tofu
tuna
Serve with a miso vinegarette. Massage the red cabbage with olive oil and lemon juice before hand.

Heaven So light and fresh.

Chicken, tofu AND tuna????

I would gain 18 stone just be being in the same room as that one.
