'Please Don't Eat the Daisies' is a well known song from a film of the same title starring Doris Day. I now have it as an ear-worm! If you want to hear it I've attached a youtube file below.
In fact, you can eat daisies. You can eat the leaves in salad and the flower petals can be sprinkled...

Another recipe from SparkRecipes.com :D I actually substituted 8 medjool dates, pitted and sliced into quarters, for the raisins.
Introduction
Broccoli salad is a summertime party staple. This version is healthier--with plenty of flavor from almonds and raisins! Broccoli salad is a...
This is spin off from the thread posted by @Rosyrain: Summer Salads. A low cal alternative to the normal potato salad with mayonnaise. This potato salad uses low fat Greek Style yoghurt in place of the mayo.

What are your favorite salads to make during the summer months? It is starting to get really warm around here and soon there will be days where I do not feel like cooking dinner. I have to admit that I am not very good when it comes to blending my own salads and making dressings, so any ideas...
When I think of melon recipes the first things that comes to mind are drinks and smoothies. That said, I wanted to find something a little different and was happy to find this creamy salad.

Bell peppers always go well in salads. They not only add a sweetness to the overall dish, but they also add a touch of colour to any salad dish.
Ingredients:
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 large cucumber, seeded and chopped

I'm not big on salads with peas, but I feel like @SatNavSaysStraightOn and @Duck59 and those who are vegetarian or vegan might like this. Of course it also seems like a good dish for the The CookingBites Recipe Challenge.
Ingredients
½ cup French Lentils
2 cups water
1 tbs olive oil
300g mix...
How pretty is this? I think this could sit pretty among the recipes for the Challenge and in the absence of Parsnips, I could improvise with carrots or some other vegetable.
Ingredients
For the Salad:
1 large bunch of kale (about 10 large leaves)
1 pomegranate
4 medium parsnips (about 1...
I've been thinking every which way about how to use parsnips in different ways for the CookingBites Recipe Challenge. Parsnips have a sweet earthy flavour which is enhanced by cooking them. In this salad they are combined the the earthy, smokey taste of black beans and the nutty taste of edamame...
I came across this recipe whilst looking at some olive trees for adoption... don't ask but here is the story (https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/would-you-adopt-an-olive-tree.6628/) and since I really like wheat berries and chickpeas, the recipe appealed to me. I would have to ditch the feta...
Hello Cooking BItes, friends! Hope everyone is faring well. :)
Does anyone happen to have a recipe for an egg salad that is yolk-less, and that might feature a less 'creamy' dressing than most do (even, and almost preferably, would anyone know of a vinegarette that could be used on an egg...
Well this is the sort of dish I am happy with and I've even made several versions of carrot Salad. I decided to share this one I found online.

Mayonnaise - 2/3 Cup
Fresh Lemon Juice - 2 Tablespoons
Salt - 1/2 Teaspoon
Sugar - 1 Tablespoon
Grated Carrots - 4 Cups
Crushed Pineapple...
Do you like to experiment with different ingredients to come up with new ideas for salads? I do. I often combine new things to taste test. I recently learned that onion and cucumber drizzled with raspberry vinaigrette is wonderfully refreshing. Sometimes, I just mix and match whichever fresh...
Yacon and green bean salad

15g sesame seeds

Small handful of Vietnamese or regular coriander (Vietnamese coriander...
I rather like the idea of aubergine and pomegranate so thought I would add this recipe which combines then with chickpeas, cumin and tahini. I think the only thing missing really is pomegranate molasses which I think I would use instead of honey!
Ingredients
400-500g baby aubergines...
