Fridge A Bit Empty....

[EcclesCake]

Am trying to scoot around for salad ingredients.....

Have lettuce, poncy leaves, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes and various form of of onion.

Looking in store cupboard I'm finding artichokes, capers and olives.

Small piece of goats cheese in the fridge and there is some feta too.

I feel something is missing....what though?

Any suggestions to perk supper up?

Heinz Salad Cream ;)

Egg mayo or a huge steak!

rocky - you beat me to it!

Oops did I forget to mention the roast chicken?

Salad cream is saved for cheese and onion with S&V crisps sarnies or for a real treat when I add chopped beetroot!

^ Oo that sounds lovely ..

Wondering about a nectarine.......

Curry rice.

[rockyracoon]

I like walnuts on my salads

[ummmm]

I like grapes in my salads.

[Jackdaw33]

Radishes, cress, scallions.

[EcclesCake]

Excellent suggestion, nuts always give a bit of bite.


Sometimes a wince but that is a different situation........

Pine nuts and a sumac dressing?

[EcclesCake]

Not wholly convinced that curried rice (yum) or sumac again (yum) would compliment an essentially Mediterranean salad.

I'll keep on ransacking fridges and cupboards.......

I was about to say, "Anything appetising" but that's a little unfair. I see you have chicken and cheese. Ok some of the other stuff is ok too, although some needs cooking.

You need to sling the cucumber and leaves into the bin before you stare at it so long it puts you off eating anything. You could start off with a nice piece of the roast chicken and put something with it. You could do a roasted veg dish with the peppers, tomatoes, onion. I wonder if a layer of grated cheese on top would improve it ? Could add it near the end of the roasting time. And if you want to use the capers and olives as an appetiser ...

Apart from that the only thing missing is a plate, eating utensils, and the usual condiments. Oh and a glass of good wine of course. Maybe candlelight. Subtle light music in the background. And sending us all our invites.

Small steamed potatoes and a hard boiled egg cut lengthways.
with some slithers of sweet red peppers.
