I’ll just have a salad

itsangieLeave a comment

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. If you’ve seen my previous posts you’ll know I’ve posted quite a few salad recipes before because they are healthy, easy to make and look really colourful. Every since I was a kid we have always had salad along with our Sunday dinner and naturally I’ve always enjoyed making it. No cooking is required just the basic skills of peeling, grating and slicing. Over the years I’ve changed the way I prepare it and my current favourite is to grate and cut the salads fairly small then mix everything together. Posting earlier because it’s so warm outside and this is a great side for your dinner, especially in this UK summer heat.

Side Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Lettuce – shredded

Carrot – grated

Raddish – grated

Method

  • Take out the amount you want of each salad, depending on how many people are eating.
  • Wash everything thoroughly and prepare everything, I like to leave the lettuce to dry on a paper towel.
  • Add everything to a bowl and serve alongside your favourite meal.

Remember salads are supposed to be healthy and by adding oils, dressings, croutons and other food item makes it less nutritious overall.

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve had a great Sunday.

Here is my take on the French Fry Salad. A much healthier version and full of colourful salads. This is a super simple but tasty recipe that you could enjoy for lunch or dinner. I made this meal for myself and did a little bit of each salad I had in the fridge along with 2 potatoes. I have included examples below of how I prepared my salad below but you can do your’s however you like.

Recipe: Fries and Salad (serves 1)

Ingredients

1 sweet potato

1 white potato

Carrot – grated

Lettuce – finely sliced

Yellow pepper – finely diced

Spring onion – finely sliced

Red cabbage – finely diced

Cucumber – finely diced

Raddish – grated

Oil for frying

Method

  • First thing is to prepare your salad, however you like (sliced, diced, chopped). Mix the salad together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Then, chop and wash the potatoes and allow to dry fully before frying in oil, drain off on a paper towel.
  • Put some fries and salad on a plate and enjoy.

  • In a bowl mix together the washed broccoli, oil, zest, garlic, salt and chilli, then place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked.
  • In the meantime, prepare the corn, toast the pine nuts and slice the carrots in a separate bowl.
  • Just before the broccoli is cooked, place the tortilla wrap in the oven for a few minutes.
  • Once everything is done, place the broccoli, salad and your preferred sauce in the centre of the wrap and fold into a parcel then cut in half and enjoy.
