What's your Go to side salad ?

[cherrytreed]

Hi all

We're hosting a bbq next weekend for 6 couples. I want to make a few different side salads to go with the bbq..

We will have potato salad & want a few more so people have options.

Would a Greek salad work?

I get so anxious when hosting, I am a people pleaser and want to please and cater for everyone 🙈

Any ideas will be super appreciated xx

Tomato parsley salad? With red onion and olive oil or any recipe variation you like

Greek salad works

You could do a pasta salad, with feta, sun dried tomatoes and basil/pesto

Oh and home made coleslaw is always a winner

If allergies aren't an issue I'd make rocket, walnut and balsamic salad or rocket and parmesan.

I love a nicoise salad at a bbq. Egg and tuna are my faves. I'm not a veggie but I don't eat much meat.

Look up the Ottolenghi cauliflower tabbouli salad. Chop herbs day before to make it easier. Amazing and will feed 12.

Of also do a tomato & onion very thinly sliced salad with capers and fresh oregano.

Greek salad is my go to.

Watermelon, feta and mint is a good to here, or second choice would be cos, pear, walnut (and blue cheese if you like it)

How about this Wimbledon Salad - although I've been having it for lunch a few times this week. It's absolutely lovely.

Ooh yes this - love it. Mmmm with feta.

Rick Stein's Melon/Cucumber/Mint salad. Watermelon & Feta salad. Pesto, Spinach, Pinenut Pasta Salad. Traditional Tomato /Mozzarella/Basil. All easy to prep and go down well.

This is my go-to!

Homemade coleslaw and potato salad always go down well at my BBQs.

Wow thanks everyone. Such lovely suggestions! Will definitely choose at least 3 thank you x

I love this with BBQ food, it always disappears first.
