I'm stuck in a salad rut. My staples are
-rocket / Parmesan / pine nut
-Roast squash / feta / herbs / chickpeas or couscous
-Roast Mediterranean veg (peppers, aubergine, courgette)
-coleslaw (the boring cabbage, carrot and onion type, sometimes jujed with a bit of fennel)

Any more exciting salads I can try?

Best thread I’ve read in a while.

Haven’t got time to type out any good suggestions.

But recently bought (not had for years)
T inned bean salad in Tesco. In vinaigrette. Also called Tinned 5 bean salad.

Really makes a salad more filling. Lovely with Tuna, red onion etc.

I did roast chicken salad today.

Really like this one
Beetroot, orange and feta salad | Sainsbury`s Magazine (sainsburysmagazine.co.uk)

Also like a sort of mojito salad - with ribbons of courgette, lime juice, mint and cubes of cucumber

I like the look of that beetroot, orange and feta salad, @Breadcat24 - apart from the feta (I’m not a fan), but I think it would be nice with goat’s cheese or maybe a blue like dolcelatte.

thank you @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius can use goats cheese, wensleydale or even mozzarella. Probably is nice with blue but I am allergic so cannot experiment for you sorry!

I'm very late to this but I don't think you can beat a really good caesar salad, especially a chicken caeser salad

Placemarking.

Spinach, beetroot, thinly sliced onion or radishes, red pepper, grated carrot, cucumber chunks, cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives with lemon and mustard dressing and some sesame seeds for a crunch

Steamed cabbage, fried bean shoots, sesame seeds, steamed broccoli and sweet chilli dressing

Rocket, tuna mayo, avocado, mango, black olives,

Oh the black pudding one reminds me of one I have done a few times: fried chunks of black pudding, fried chunks of apple, leaves and a balsamic dressing. Can also add cucmber or other crunchy veg, and nuts. Also good with fried chicken livers instead of the black pudding.

Here’s one I was recommended on MN and have made a few times:

Three pea and feta salad: fresh peas (or defrosted frozen petit pois), pea shoots, chopped up sugar snap peas, feta. Lemon and EVOO dressing. Can substitute other leaves, or other salty cheese. Also good with avocado.

And one I forgot before:

Chicory, blue cheese, walnuts, dressing with honey & grainy mustard. Would probably be good with apple or pear in it too. Or frisee or radicchio instead of the chicory.

Ive been away and just checked back on this thread. Omg the black pudding one sounds amazing. And the beetroot ones. And the chicory. Maybe it's the autumn getting close. Such amazing ideas, thankyou
