they both look yummy thanks!

any more folks?

It’s probably too much for today, but for the future, The Salad Lab on Instagram has amazing salad recipes.

Not being snarky but this question is often asked - use the search feature and you’ll reveal a plethora of delicious recipes

Coastal calm, I think the op is probably looking for tried and tested recipes from fellow mumsnetters which is what this forum is good for.

You’re missing the Mumsnet Massive Salad. 😉 No idea what’s in it but get the impression it’s actually very little!

One of our family favourites is a garlicky tomato salad. It’s loads of little tomatoes - mini plum, cherry, the different coloured ones etc, for lots of shape/colour - masses of crushed garlic, virgin olive oil, chopped and de-seeded chilli, shredded basil leaves or a bit of pesto and a squeeze of lime.

With this, you can’t have too many tomatoes or too much garlic and it goes down a treat every time.

Have sometimes done the same - minus the basil - but substituted mangoes, chopped really small, for the tomato and added some chopped avocado.

Tabbouleh

im also a lover of a very plain tomato salad - sliced ripe toms, basil leaves, vinaigrette

I make a tomato salad by skinning the tomatoes then slice with lemon juice, a little sugar and decent olive oil and salt pepper to taste. It's delicious and goes with lots of dishes.

Tabbouleh? Couscous salads?

Love Tabbouleh and most grain or pulse type salads and a classic Greek Salad. Also anything tomato based as above or with very finely shaved pink onion and a mustard or onion seed vinegrette.

Have also made this

and made this last week too, but didn't follow the recipe slavishly. It's on his instagram but I can't seem to copy the link this time for some reason.
Recipe image hopefully to follow.
