Salads/Sides

[Tillsforthrills]

Looking for salad and sides inspiration as I’m getting a bit tired of Greek salad all the time.

Trying to eat less carbs so I have the protein parts of meals done and dusted but I’d love to try new ideas for the sides or else salads as a main meal.

Please share your favourite salads/healthy side dishes.

Beetroot, walnut and goat’s cheese
Roasted pepper and courgette
Tuna and white bean salad version 1 or version 2
Indian style

Watermelon, feta, chilli and mint on a bed of green leaves.

Those look amazing thank you!

Love watermelon so I’ll be trying this too, thank you

Fattoush
Mexican salsa (pico de gallo)
Tabbouleh

Google super green salad bbc - greens, mustard and mackerel - v good

Tray of roast med veg with leaves and goats cheese

I've been making different types of coleslaw. I'm not a fan of heavy mayonnaise based slaws but have been enjoy an apple slaw with a yoghurt based dressing. Similarly a Asian style slaw with broccoli stalks in and a rice wine vinegar based dressing.

A really quick salad that goes down well here is a simple sweet corn, pepper, grilled pineapple and bean mix dressed with lime juice and chilli

Missed the red onion out of the corn salad. Finely chop it!

Roast sweet potato, red onion and beetroot
Pearl barley salad
Kachumba salad is elite.

I no what you said about carbs but they are vital for good balanced meals really.for both satiety and how your body works there is a reason they are there.

Tuna nicoise is delicious and filling.

We love pico de gallo and guacamole, fattoush and tabbouleh we’ve only had while eating out so I’ll try those at home thanks!

I’ve got my online shopping open for this thread and adding these ingredients - sounds delicious.

What I was planning to do is have complex carbs at breakfast only and for DH and DC things like new potatoes and brown rice for their evening meals at home.

I probably won’t last long without those at my lunch/evening meals too so I’ll probably just do the same for myself. Trying not to eat bread but it’s not easy!

Another one for the online shop - I’ll look up the ingredients, thanks so much.
