salad

There are quite a few recipes for chicken and strawberry salad but I thought I’d add different dimension by making good old-fashioned salad cream; a savoury version of strawberries and cream! Most recipes for salad cream include olive oil. I don’t think its needed as the cream is already rich...

Grains, pulses and beans are a good choice for picnic salads because they improve as they absorb dressings and don’t go soggy in transit. Wild rice, cooked until it bursts and splits, provides a nutty base for this salad, combined with sweet and rather boozy raisins, smoky capers and citrus...

This is all about sweet and sour. The classic combination is blue cheese, pear and walnuts, but here I've used parsnip roasted in maple syrup instead of pears. Serves 2 as a light lunch with bread or as a side salad. Photographed today in natural light Ingredients 1 medium parsnip, peeled and...

You could substitute another blue cheese for Roquefort or perhaps use Feta and you could substitute oranges, tangerines or clementines for the satsumas. The main point here is the taste combination of salty cheese, sweet and sour orange and tomato and bitter chicory. I haven't given quantities...

'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. Photographed today at 7 pm in natural light. Ingredients (serves 2) 300g cooked new...

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. serves 4-6 Vinaigrette 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 Tablespoons Olive oil 1 teaspoon honey 1 tsp...

Do you know the different types of salad dressing? And can you name some of it? And can you share it with us here in this forum.

https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/tomato-and-pepper-salad.6823/ 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 1...

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...
