Re: Salads
One of my favourite salads is tuna, baby potatoes and kidney beans with lots of chopped salad veg, whatever I have in the fridge, e.g. salad leaves, cucumber, spring onions, celery, peppers, cooked cold green beans and/or mangetout, beetroot, avocado. Maybe some tomatoes, but can do without. Mix the whole lot up, stir in some pine nuts and sprinkle with a lovely dressing.Gosh, it's not quite 9 am and my mouth is watering at the thought of this - haven't even had breakfast yet , haha.

Re: Salads
We like a Salad when the weather is warm...It is a good mix of the usual mix of Lettuce, Cucumber, Red Onions, Parma Ham cut into small pieces Beetroot, New Potatoes minted and butter, Crusty Bread...Then it has to have Cheese and a Main Filler...Cornish Pasty or Chicken we prefer.Just think how much time you can save if you like Cornish Pastry, Spaghetti Bolognese, Lasagna....4 Meals that are all minced based and all need onions and carrots.some herbs and salt/pepper..
So batch cook and freeze...pack up in containers in equal sizes for your meals...You'll soon get use to the amounts. We have a lot of carrots in our mixes but you can vary to your tastes.

Re: Salads
It's funny isn't it, how you can eat a spag bog and feel totally stuffed, yet still have room for a salad and pudding.... I think perhaps there are different compartments in our stomachs for these side dishes. Or a bit like one of those suitcases that has that hidden second zip you can loosen when over full.
