Help please salad recipe

[marmaladian]

DS needs to make a salad for food tech that has someting cooked, a protein lots of nutrients and no nuts. He has to transport the ingredients on a bus for an hour and cant cook them ahead of time. Any ideas?

Chicken Caeser salad

In salad terms, not sure this delivers lots of nutrients though

Honey Roasted carrot and parsnips served with put lentils, crumbed feta and a balsamic dressing.

Salad Nicoise - Potatoes, Eggs & Tuna are cooked and filling.

Lettuce, Tomato, green Beans, onions & (Olives) are fresh and nutritional.
Ok the Olives are not but...

Unsaturated fats, vitamin E and other antioxidants - what’s wrong with olives, @DancefloorAcrobatics ?

Nothing, but I listened them under "fresh", and they are not fresh, but I agree nutritional & delicious! 😋

Another vote for Salade Niçoise, take a tin of tuna (which is the traditional ingredient) and will be convenient for travelling on the bus. Use small new potatoes so they cook quickly. He should have time to cook the potatoes, the green beans, and hard boil the eggs.

This definitely fits the bill and is a popular salad

A perla salad? Giant couscous, spinach leaves, olives, cherry tomatoes, avocado, courgette (normally has toasted almonds but you can leave that off).

This. Can add grilled halloumi and some seeds

Here

He can leave the olives out

And if he doesn't like tuna he can swap for chicken

It really doesn't matter tbh

And he can make any old dressing he feels like

And obviously he can use vinegar instead of lemon juice
