Fruit and veg salad combo's

[bigfoot3000]

What fruits and veg go well together in a salad, and whats a no no?

[ummmm]

Grated carrots and raisins go well....

Grapes are also nice in a salad...especially if it involves cheese.

[ummmm]

Most are a no no.....lol

Potatoes are OK

broken segments of orange are nice in a green salad, with chopped walnuts too.

Grapefruit segments go well on a salad with grated veg. Apple is nice on a waldorf salad. Strawberries are lovely with parma ham, blue cheese and walnut halves (I had this served as a complimentary with a bottle of Veuve in a Spanish bar).

I also like Beetroot and Radish in a Salad

[ummmm]

And apple is nice in a salad with peanuts...

[boxtops]

cold Brussels sprouts are not salad material.

I had a salad somewhere in Spain some time ago. There were various leaves, parmesan shavings, dried fruit and macadamia nuts... I can't remember the rest.

Good ideas folks, I just made grated beetroot, carrot and orange salad (As that's all I had except onions and bananas,lol.) which will help with my liver detox, thanks for all the replies.

nice lettuce (NOT iceberg) or baby salad leaves, sliced radish, chopped avacado, grapes, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber, pine nuts, croutons. fry up some lardons or finely chopped bacon or a couple of chopped chicken thighs and tip that on top, a splosh of french dressing, toss it all together and eat.

[ethandron]

oh yes, and red onions finely chopped. leave out the meat if you like.

[bigfoot3000]

Well i've done the detox and do fancy some "Man food" now though your tasty recipe would mean a trip to the shops ethandron!

chunks of mango are good in a salad with crab or chicken.
pear and cheese go well, pear celery cheese and walnut is a humdinger
apple is yummy in a salad with nuts in

[woofgang]

oh and btw, not salad but try room temperature sliced banana with a chicken curry.

chunks of watermelon and chopped fresh red onion pretty good too

[bigfoot3000]

Cheers woofgang, There's just so many flavors to experience, I think I will do a big fruit and veg shop and do some experimenting as these salads are extremely refreshing when the weather's hot!

If anyone's had cooked banana sliced on top of a chicken biryani (yes I know it's not a salad) you will know how yummy it is. I love bananas, I eat one every day for my breakfast.

Blackcurrant leaves add a real fragrance to a green salad.
