Simple salad recipes

[JustAnotherViper]

I love a quick and easy salad for lunch. Currently I do:

cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and olive oil

courgette, mint, chilli, lemon and oil

fennel, lemon and oil.

all good alone, as a side dish or with some feta on top.

id love to add some variety if anyone has any more to offer up?

Cubed tomatoes, cucumber, red onions or spring onions, chopped coriander, lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.
Can add chopped nuts and/or salad leaves too

Coarsely grated carrot, red onion, apple and a small amount of white cabbage with natural yoghurt, plenty of seasoning and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a finely chopped lettuce base, crumbled blue cheese and toasted mixed seeds.

Also I really like a salad of chopped red onion, sweetcorn, red peppers, sweetcorn, pineapple and tinned beans with chopped coriander, plenty of salt and pepper and lots of lime juice.

Lamb’s lettuce is a game changer.

also warm protein be that chicken, chickpeas etc.

Chickpeas and cauliflower with loads of garam masala in oven then just have whatever salad stuff I have in and crumble feta over.

Feta and watermelon with chilli and mint is fab

Tomatoes, fresh basil and good mozzarella with olive oil and salt

I always love a Greek salad but I hate raw onion so leave that out

Cous cous or bulgar wheat is great to add to bulk it out

Orzo pasta is brilliant in a salad.

Whizz up cauliflower florets,broccoli florets,coriander...add pomegranate seeds and the juice of a lime or lemon...yummy

Green pepper, celery, apply and cucumber, all diced small dressed with just lots of lemon juice. Bright green and sharp.

Cubed cucumber, red onion, tomato, coriander, chilli. Iceberg lettuce shredded.
Then I use chicken tikka cubed
Or onion bhaji chopped up

Minty yoghurt.

Topped with crumbled poppadoms rather than croutons.

Chickpeas, edamame beans, mint and feta with a drizzle of vinaigrette

the salad recipes on Cookie + Kate are lovely

All the herbs, not chopped just leaves picked off stems. Parsley, basil, dill, mint spinach and rocket, sliced red cabbage with a soy and ginger sauce.

Greek salad and caprese salad (with good buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil) are quick, require no cooking and with some bread on the side make a nice filling meal.

I also like to mix green leaves, cherry tomatoes, black olives and a small can of sweetcorn with a can of tuna for a quick meal salad.

For Asian flavours, I can recommend ribbons of carrot and cucumber, mixed with chopped fresh mint and peanuts, and seasoning made out of lime juice, fish sauce and garlic. Add ready cooked prawns or chicken to make a meal out of it.
