Salad Recipes
When you think of salads, if your mind jumps straight to a sad bit of limp lettuce on the side of a plate, think again. Salads can be proper meals in their own right – full of colour, flavour and texture. Whether you want something light and fruity or rich and creamy, this list has got a bit of everything to suit all tastes.
These salad recipes are perfect for lunch, dinner or even a weekend BBQ. Some are veggie or vegan, some are hearty enough to keep the meat-eaters happy too. There is a nice mix here – from the crisp and refreshing to the rich and satisfying.
You will find classics like tuna salad, creamy egg salad and a simple caprese with spinach. If you’re after something with a bit of a twist, try the vegan Italian salad or a Ukrainian beet salad – both full of bold flavours. Want something a bit heartier? The smoked mackerel pasta salad, crispy chicken salad or bacon and avocado salad will fill you up nicely.
There’s also a lovely apple and cranberry coleslaw that’s perfect for autumn, a baby leaf salad for a lighter touch, and a potato and asparagus salad that’s great warm or cold. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, the fruit salad is a great way to finish.
