It kind of goes without saying that I have no idea whether this salad will work or not, nor what it would taste like, being both vegetarian and allergic to dairy, but I stumbled across it whilst looking for salad ideas and thought that it might be interesting for the current ingredient recipes...

Butternut Squash and Potato Salad (loosely based on this recipe for Potato and Red Grape Salad) served to carrot, cucumber, celery, spring onion, mixed fresh herbs, lettuce, dill senap and hummus

This version is vegan. It can be made with soya yoghurt and lemon juice, or my current preference which is pureed cashew nuts and lemon juice. However, in the making of this version, I only had coconut yoghurt to hand, limes and various other 'oriental' herbs. So I decided to have a Thai...

I have been asked to write up my potato salad as a recipe which is rather difficult actually because it's one of those no quantities, just what you have, recipes. All I can tell you is that I add enough to make it look the way it is. Perhaps as the weather gets warmer here in Australia, I will...

There are quite a few recipes for chicken and strawberry salad but I thought I’d add different dimension by making good old-fashioned salad cream; a savoury version of strawberries and cream! Most recipes for salad cream include olive oil. I don’t think its needed as the cream is already rich...

Grains, pulses and beans are a good choice for picnic salads because they improve as they absorb dressings and don’t go soggy in transit. Wild rice, cooked until it bursts and splits, provides a nutty base for this salad, combined with sweet and rather boozy raisins, smoky capers and citrus...

This is all about sweet and sour. The classic combination is blue cheese, pear and walnuts, but here I've used parsnip roasted in maple syrup instead of pears. Serves 2 as a light lunch with bread or as a side salad. Photographed today in natural light Ingredients 1 medium parsnip, peeled and...

You could substitute another blue cheese for Roquefort or perhaps use Feta and you could substitute oranges, tangerines or clementines for the satsumas. The main point here is the taste combination of salty cheese, sweet and sour orange and tomato and bitter chicory. I haven't given quantities...

'Please Don't Eat the Daisies' is a well known song from a film of the same title starring Doris Day. I now have it as an ear-worm! If you want to hear it I've attached a youtube file below. In fact, you can eat daisies. You can eat the leaves in salad and the flower petals can be sprinkled...

Another recipe from SparkRecipes.com :D I actually substituted 8 medjool dates, pitted and sliced into quarters, for the raisins. Introduction Broccoli salad is a summertime party staple. This version is healthier--with plenty of flavor from almonds and raisins! Broccoli salad is a...

What are your favorite salads to make during the summer months? It is starting to get really warm around here and soon there will be days where I do not feel like cooking dinner. I have to admit that I am not very good when it comes to blending my own salads and making dressings, so any ideas...
