Re: Salads
I chop my salad, mix it all and add whatever I can find to make it interesting
So a base of chopped lettuce, cue, toms, then Ill add onion, gherkin, pickled walnuts, olives, some chopped nuts and seeds, croutons, maybe some chopped grapes, chickpeas or kidney beans
Basically lots of different textures and flavours . all in bowl, add some dressing and thats it, add whatever protein to the side
I also like pasta and rice salads
Another thing that was new to me when I moved here but I now love is jelly in a salad
So for cucumber id make a lime jelly, add lots of fine chopped cucumber. Beetroot id add to blackcurrant jelly, grated carrot to an orange jelly. Sounds really weird but it works
