Those sound unusual but nice Missy. Might just try the lime and cuc, carrot and orange ones

Here is mine I made the other day, it was delicious, my husband and dad loved it too.

Here is how I made it

I put in chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped red and yellow pepper, sweetcorn, red and green chillis chopped, diced cheese, chopped crab sticks and spinach. I then added a couple teaspoon of olive oil, lazy garlic, mixed herbs, black pepper, salt, turmeric and a little mint sauce then mixed it all up together.

They are unusual but believe it or not, really nice and refreshing, esp the cucumber one

I throw all sorts onto a salad, orange, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, apple, melon etc, they all work and just make for different flavours in the mouth especially as so much "salad veg" is pretty tasteless

Do you use a sauce Susie ? Or perhaps, oil and lemon?

This is going to be an interesting thread

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

Lion that sounds delicious....I like crab.

The Japanese name is surimi and surimi is big business. Surimi manufacturing takes lean fresh fish or lean fish by product and turns them into seafood-like tube shaped products with a long shelf life. They contain fish that has been pulped and washed to remove odour. The texture is then improved with starch, egg white, vegetable oil, meat glue and humectants. Salt, sugar, MSG and other flavours are added to give the surimi flavour.

The surimi is shaped and covered in food dye to make it look like it came from a crustacean. Surimi is mostly made in Asia where it is eaten as a dish in itself where here it is offered as a substitute for the real thing.

I love crab - but won't touch crab sticks!
