Enlighten me about new salads!

I sometimes slick up thin slices of apple or strawberry in some of my garden salads, they had a nice sweet taste. But oftentimes I use black pepper, some herbs, and cheese in my salads but I don't like dressings, so the herbs and cheese make up for the dressing. I'd like to experiement with fresh herbs like parsley and chives, they're really yummy :-)

when i make a salad i tend to look round the shop and put in whatever i feel like that day. i sometimes use wild rice, or a red rice, the name of which i can't remember, in a salad, just for a bit of variety. there are some vegetables that need to be cooked before you can eat them that are nice in a salad, like broad beans, or other beans or peas. but there are some that i couldn't eat, i don't fancy the idea of a broccoli salad. though there may well be a recipe out there somewhere. i think you should just experiment and see what happens, just put together some ingedients that you fancy eating that day and see what happens.

hi marguicha! i also eat a lot of salads. if its not salad, its fresh fruit. over the weekend, i had a fruit bowl. it had grapes, apples, mangoes, and watermelon. i had it for lunch and dinner in the past two days. today, i had a salad. it had strawberries, mangoes, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, and steamed chicken and turkey. i prepared a garlic mayonnaise dressing for this one. i'll be having this salad for today and tomorrow. what's nice about the past two salads that i made was that both were made from organic fruits and vegetables. eating salad is healthy and i do believe that by using organic produce, it makes it healthier. right now, i'm trying to learn how to prepare hot prawn salad. hopefully, i get to prepare it for next week. cheers!!!

Try some fruit, and make your own dressing, canola oil, 1/2 C to vinigar 1/4 cup then add herbs, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Mix and store in frig. I like to add dry ginger and a little soy instead of salt. I will eat almost any type of cooked vegies to my lettuce and other greens. Also canned or cooked dry beans are a good protein. Coold, cooked pasta, use whole grain for more fiber can be added. In fact you can throw in the kitchen sink and the frig and still end up with a good salad. Blessings

Hi marguicha a lentil salad is good have you tried? mix cooked lentils with steamed broccoli, carrots,zucchinis, or any vegie you like and may be a hard boiled egg? and just use your favorite dressing! also I make a tropical rice salad/ with white rice or brown, I add some crushed/or pineapple pieces, some sultanas[ if you like] some chopped red capsicum, spanish onion, garlic powder[just a little] some chopped green shallots and coriander I usually dress this salad with mayo...which I make my self...but if you can't have mayo just use other dressing you like. Good luck and good eating I hope you enjoy it!

I eat only raw salad. We are not living in the same part of the world, and I don't know if they grow in your country, but in winter I like to eat watercress and purslane salads. Watercress can be eaten in soups too ; it is a plant from the same family than arugula, but with a different taste.

I love salads of all sorts I love steamed califlower and brocolli.I wish I could be of more help and hope that you are doing good I have been praying for you.Good luck and get well soon.I hope you have a great day.

Hello Marguicha. I think eating salad is a very healthy choice. I eat salad around five times a week or more. My favorite salad is cucumber, round lettuce, cress and spring onion. Sometimes I add beetroot to it. I like to put Brazil nuts on it and add some vinegary salad dressing on it. The other day I like a salad of baby carrots, cauliflower and green beans. I added some vinegary salad dressing to it. I eat raw salads and never cooked ones. It is a shame in winter imported food can be pricey.

Hi marguicha, I too lover of salads. I usually like to eat raw salads. Raw salads prepared by tomatoes,lettuce,carrot,cucumber,onion,garlic,and mastered oil is delicious. Raw salad is very healthy food. Specially for you it will be very helpful. How are you now?

I don't think that I've ever had a cooked salad, but I can see why you can only eat things that are cooked right now. With that said, my favorite kinds of salads to eat are ones that are loaded with a lot of different vegetables. I love to have lettuce, onions, bell peppers, avocado, cheese, some ham and things like that in my salad. I will also often add some almonds to them because of the fact that they are good for you and also completely change the taste of the salad.
