Salads

I know it's still winter, but it won't be long before it's summer again and it will be time to wheel out some salad recipes. These two are my favourites.... Waldorf Salad ========== 100g walnuts, chopped roughly 1 head celery, chopped 1 red apple, chopped 1 green apple, chopped 100g green grapes, halved 100g red grapes, halved 2 tsbp mayonnaise mixed with 1 tbsp milk Throw the walnuts, grapes, apples and celery into a large bowl and mix with your hands to combine. Mix the mayo with the milk (the milk makes it runnier, easier to mix in with the other ingredients and makes it less sticky) and pour over ...  Read the complete review

In my childhood I never grew up liking salads though my nanny and mum used to force me. Of course they could have been said to be healthy, but it is the taste that put me off indeed. But in life we all move on and I have now learned to like my salads. Every time I eat dinner I always make I get extra greens in my plate. In my house we mainly make different types of salads but I am going to share the salad we prepare a lot of the times. And we just call it chicken salad. We mainly cook it when we have leftover chicken from last dinner or we don't have enough chicken pieces to share one each. So it could be a way to get rid of your left over chicken or just a way to ...  Read the complete review

King Henry VIII once enjoyed a salad made out of 50 flowers, roots, buds and leaves. Yes, for those members who have read my reviews "Sweet basil, Heila and Barbeque" and "Romantic and legendary", I am back with another herbal treat.

It is important to keep a balanced diet and vegetables should be a part of it. I like to prepare salads in order to take few vegetables together. My salads are variations of the Mediterranean variety. There is salad, tomatoes, which I like to chop finely, onions, which may not leave the best smell in your mouth, but who cares, I like them anyway! I add cheese, if I find good Buffalo mozzarella, it must be this one, but otherwise also other mozzarellas or fetas. I also prepare the same salad with shrimps and when I really want to treat myself, with sushi. I use olive oil to dress it, this is much healthier than the ...  Read the complete review

I have finally come to the conclusion that I have as much chance publishing "Clinton's Cuisine" as I have of actually receiving a payment/straight answer off the CSA. So I am going to share some of my fave's with you…but don't tell my sister because I refused to tell her tee hee! Today is Ensaladia Ruso. Aka Jessian salad. A Tapas dish. Tapas (meaning "cover" -apparently brought about by people covering their drinks to protect from flies with a piece of food such as flat bread or a different opinion which I personally prefer is that the wine seved was so vile that strong cheese was served to "cover" the taste) is a ...  Read the complete review
