Interesting salads please

[Qwenzo]

Have absolutely run out of ideas for making interesting salads.

This week I’ve made panzanella, mango and corn salad, potato salad, coleslaw etc.

Any ideas for interesting salads please?

Couscous and feta
Pesto pasta and pine nuts
Mexican bean salad
Wild rice salad
Tabbouleh
Feta and beetroot
Nicoise
Honey and mustard sausage salad
Waldorf

Great ideas thanks!

Watermelon and feta is lush

Cantaloupe, prosciutto and burrata (or mozzarella).

Blue cheese, walnut and apple/pear is another favourite. Add pancetta if you want meat but it's great without.

Fig, mozzarella, and green beans. Again, with pancetta or prosciutto if you want meat.

Spicy roasted chickpeas with roasted squash, and pomegranate.

We use a mix of kale, rocket, watercress, spinach, baby leaf, romaine, broccoli etc for our greens so it's never quite the same as it's literally just a combination of whatever we have in the fridge, and we tend to throw a small handful of nuts in at the end.

Homemade ciabatta croutons too. If we want something a bit more substantial then we add a mix of bulgar wheat, buckwheat, and tricolour quinoa.

I really fancy salad now!

Fattoush

My SIL makes a really gorgeous coleslaw which I'd add to a salad (or just eat it alone!). Finely sliced red cabbage, carrot and leek (just the white part), ideally with a mandoline then mix in some mayo but just so it has a fine coating not so it's swimming in the stuff. Delicious!

I made a lovely feta apple and walnut salad recently, with a balsamic dressing.

This is exactly what I wanted, thank you!

Tabouleh for sure!
Vegan richa has a curried sweet potato and lentil salad on the blog which is excellent

• watermelon, grilled halloumi & toasted pinenuts- thats it!

• figs or pears, blue cheese or blue cheese sauce like saint agur in a little tub, spinach or salad leaves.

• Som tam (Thai green papaya salad) or Thai mango salad

• Mango, prawns, avocado, toasted macadamia nuts

• celery, raisins or dates, spring onion or red onion, parmesan cheese, toasted almonds, olive oil and lemon juice

• tabbouleh

• quinoa salad

Black pudding and chorizo

I also had vegetarian haggis crumbled over some rocket with a simple dressing and pomegranate seeds recently and it was delicious!

Some lovely ideas thank you!

Roasted cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, rocket with a balsamic dressing.

I find a simple green salad is infinitely enhanced by adding finely shredded mint.

Oh that courgette one sounds good. I’m even growing peas so it’s perfect!
