Salads

I'm no great salad lover. I don't mind a bit of salad as a garnish to make a proper meal look nice but I really don't enjoy it that much.

Today, after watching Scary Mary make one of her 'Super summer salads' I thought I would have ago at it and who knows? maybe even start to eat more healthily. It wasn't anything difficult; Cooked asparagus and broad beans (cooled) and served on Little gem lettuce (plus I added some pea shoots.), sliced fresh figs and goats cheese drizzled with a honey & Mustard dressing.

It was actually very nice and we both enjoyed it but that was an hour ago, now I'm feeling hungrier than I did before I ate it. I would kill for an Indian or a deep pan pizza & chips.

Re: Salads

We often have salad as a light evening meal. Greek salad is a favourite but it has to be with real Feta cheese made from sheep and goat’s milk not your imitation rubbish like Apetina made from cow’s milk. Alternatively we exchange the Feta for fried Halloumi.

Ah, now fried halloumi I do like especially when coated in honey (not sure how healthy that is with honey poured over it)

Salads are OK for starters but a man needs meat and potatoes to survive .....

One of the advantages of being a woman - or half a woman is that meat and potatoes aren’t a necessity for survival

Re: Salads

I usually have a large bowl of salad in the fridge for snacking on. Spinach leaves, grated carrot, feta cheese cubes, olives, and cherry tomatoes. Sometimes avocado chopped through as well. Its lovely as a side dish to a meal, or on a sandwich with pastrami.
