Cucumber And Apple Salad

You can use it as a spread on sandwiches or to enhance regular lettuce and tomato salads. Serve atop pasta, mix in potato or macaroni salads. Serve with tuna and so on.This salad originates in New Orleans by Italian immigrants. If you don't want to buy the individual ingredients or you don't want to pickle them homemade, buy the Italian Giardiniera pickled vegetable mix. You can also get the olive salad at some grocery stores. Just use most excellent olive oil. Some Muffaletta Sandwiches use this olive salad minced into a paste but I like the rustic texture.If you make the sandwich use a good Sicilian round bread and good cuts of meat.

I decided not to garden this year. Thankfully, I have a generous neighbor who provides me with the bounty from his. He provides the cucumbers, I provide the salad. Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.Cucumber salad is cold, refreshing, and perfect as a side to any BBQ dish, but perfectly good on its own. A glass of rose doesn't hurt.

I have not mentioned any quantity or measurements for this recipe as the ingredients can be adjusted according to taste.

This is a simple and healthy meal. Have it at lunch or dinner. You can use leftover chicken if you have it on hand. Or if you prefer to grill, sautee or roast your chicken, use whatever cooking method most suitable for you. I like to be able to shred the chicken. Mix and match ingredients. This is a very versatile meal.

perfect for all kinds of meat especially grilled ones :positive

My favourite salad by far and one that I make on a regular basis as it’s so quick yet so tasty. Traditionally this Middle Eastern dish is made with bulgar or cracked wheat but here I have used buckwheat as I like to use up the grains I have in the cupboard. Mildly spiced and an abundance of fresh herbs and a variety of textures and flavours make this colourful dish so appealing. Add anything you have to hand such as radishes, cucumber, to create your own unique tabbouleh.

Great side with grilled meat or fish. Also a good addition to any potluck!

Different salad. Makes a good side dish with any grilled fish or meat.

Quick and easy to make. And looks so pretty! Serves 1 as an individual salad or upto 4 as a side salad to share. #nikicuisine

A light "chunky" side dish to compliment most grilled BBQ meals or serve with Italian dishes. The fresh basil gives it a nice flavor. Add a “hint of mint” (instead of basil) and black olives for a slight, cool refreshing taste, especially with Mediterranean dishes of lamb, grilled chorizo and/or seafood.

If you want a healthy, colorful meal then this is a great option! It's simple but perfectly effective particularly with the bright cherry vinaigrette made with extra virgin olive oil from Spain that accompanies it. Eat it alone or as a side dish, either way it will hit the spot!

This special dressing brings together a unique mix of herbs and the powerful taste of sherry, all brought into one mixture with extra virgin olive oil from Spain. Feel confident pouring this atop any salads as it's delicious and good for you!

You could also eat this salad cold or take it with you to work. If you have some leftover couscous, feel free to use that

We have a saying in Italy, "Do not let the peasant know how good pears are with cheese" - or he might pick all the pears off your tree. This salad is a sophisticated version of the classic pears with cheese... simply delicious!!!

So easy to make tastes great as a side dish

this salad feels like eating a breathe of fresh air... take that as you will but this recipe goes so well with a heavier main dish ^^

This recipe is quick. Like, stupid quick. The first time I made it, my wife, daughter and I were on our way to a neighbour's house for dinner. Not wanting to arrive empty-handed, I decided to whip up a quick salad. I was able to do so in the time it took for my daughter to find her coat and boots and put them on. She dawdles, so it was about 5 minutes. To help with the mood, I put on Vivaldi's Winter, a.k.a the Chef's Table theme (yes, it's on my playlist). I have an almost Pavlovian response to that piece of music, which basically turns me into the Roadrunner from the old Looney Tunes cartoons. Anyway, despite the rushed prep, the salad was a hit. So here it is. For safety's sake, I padded out the cook time a bit.

Something cool and refreshing, it's feel like temperature here is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.There is a Lebanese recipe similar.

I wanted a change from the traditional salad, and something cool, and refreshing.

This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.

This simple pasta salad is perfect for lunch or as a barbecue side dish. To make it vegan, omit the feta.Each serving provides 567 kcal, 22g protein, 70g carbohydrates (of which 10g sugars), 20g fat (of which 9g saturates), 7g fibre and 2.5g salt.

A refreshing addition to accompany a heavy meat fest! Made this for a Xmas potluck! Very easy and can be made ahead.I use mirin to balance the flavours, you can also use coconut sugar instead. The chili flakes add a spicy extra kick to this salad.I also use a ziplock bag to reduce washing fi dishes.

Most unexpected combination, but it taste delicious. All you need are 4 simple ingredients.

Here's a plant-based tapa that you can serve alongside other small dishes. It uses tofu, veggies, and extra virgin olive oil from Spain to dress up toast. Try our recipe and serve it this weekend!

A great pasta salad that is an ideal side to accompany grilled dishes, perfect for summer barbeques!@nikicuisineRecipe inspiration: Feel Good Foodie

This pasta salad uses blue fish rich in DHA, such as tuna or horse mackerel. It features pasta in the colors of the Italian flag.The origin of this recipe: Using lime and red onion gives it an exotic finish and a fresh taste.

A light delicious salad to have as a starter to share or for liunch or dinner side with grilled meats!

"Rübensalat" This is a recipe from Sachsen - Anhalt in Germany . They made up for the times when there was not much meat to bring colour and variety onto their tables with vegetables.
