Salad....yawn.

[Bbbananas]

I am trying to avoid bread, pasta, rice etc and have been very good all this week and stuck to salads for lunch. So far:
Italian leaves with chorizio, caramelised onions, poached eggs & balsamic dressing.
Yesterday rocket with feta, peashoots, peas & mint.
Then today Italian leaves with chicken, parmesan, onion, cherry toms & balsamic.

Any other suggestions? I cannot stand the though of just lettuce, tomato & cucumber boring old-fashioned english standard salad.

spanish leaves, or maybe go greek


do you cook the poached eggs at work?

[redman41]

How about some Tuna or Salmon to go with it salla. Bit bland otherwise.

[rowanwitch]

beetroot, gherkin, apple with krakowska polish sausage (its the leanest one )

tomato, red pepper, finely chopped chilli, red onions and black olives in a balsamic and lemon dressing

grated courgette, onion and apple lemon and olive oil goes well with tuna

This is my favourite - broccoli salad

Raw broccoli, cut into tiny florets
Finely chopped red onion (raw)
Cubed pancetta (cooked til crispy & allow to cool)
Handful of sultanas
Dressing: one part white vinegar, 2 parts salad cream

Yummy!

I cook the poached eggs the night before - so they're still a little runny. Then I warm them up slightly with the salad. I love warm salads.....

MrsO's answer is brilliant when you remember what broccoli is in the swear filter :)

I do like anchovies - what can I put with them?

[rowanwitch]

rocket, and watercress with hot smoked salmon and prawns lime and chilli dressing

[Bbbananas]

olo chuck - thanks for that piece of advice!!

(p.s. can't stand sultanas, raisins, currants etc).

[237SJ]

Cajun prawns with spinach/rocket/watercress
Mixed greens with those little peppers that are stuffed with feta cheese
Anti-pasti type roasted veg with crumbled feta/roquefort

i like bean salads i had endame, butterbean and sugar snap pea today with peppers feta cheese, leaves of some kind

[rowanwitch]

I had vegetable couscous with apple, cucumber and tomato salad in a mint dressing

[Bbbananas]

I try not to eat beans when I have other people in the office.... ALthough I suppose I can always blame it on Brenda.

How about this one then if you dont like sultanas etc (honestly, some people are so finicky! lol)

Pea & anchovy salad

Frozen peas defrosted but NOT cooked,
Cubes of cheddar, chopped raw red onion, chopped anchovy fillets. The dressing is as the broccoli salad

[Barmaid]

Salad leaves, tomatoes, yellow peppers, mango, avocado with either lobster, king prawns or smoked salmon fillet.

[Bbbananas]

That's more like it. And don't you mean pernickety mrs O, or that just me being picky?!

[Barmaid]

Oh and figs too. Lovely and keeps you regular!!

[mrs_overall]

I know what I mean ! lol

[mccfluff]

last time i ate figs i had six in one go, that was a bad bad night

Salad is pet food, you give it to rabbits and guinea pigs and the like, it's not fit for human consumption: unless, of course, it is the Harvester type of salad, in which case have as many bacon bits and spuds and dried fruit and sweetcorn and fat laden sauce over the top as you like.
