Recommend me lovely salads, please!

To start things off here's a lovely, easy to make salad:
Grated carrot
Crushed up walnuts
Poppy seeds
A little oil and balsamic vinegar

You can't beat a nice caesar salad. Esp if the lettuce is very crunchy.

Or a warm salad with new potatoes and a vinegarette instead of that mayonaise goop

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

fuck mayonaise

 

[CitySickness]

fuck mayonaise

I wouldn't recommend putting that on a salad, unless it's been tossed.

Rocket, goats cheese, celery, pine nuts and pear. With olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Spinach, marinated tofu and mango, same dressing.

Brown rice, brown lentils, cherry tomatoes and avocado with soy sauce.

imho salads

Salads. OOh Salads.

My new favourite salad, which I'm sure I posted up somewhere recently before, consists of juilienned cucumber & spring onions on a bed of rocket, with lumps of plum tomato, topped off with tons of fried tofu.
The killer part is the dressing though. It's fuckin unreal:

2 parts sesame oil to one part mild soy sauce
A good teaspoon full of wasabi
Juice of one lime
Blend in a blender, or else really ferociously by hand

Pour over salad
Cry with happiness/too much wasabi up your nose.

apples (2) peeled cored & cubed
iceberg/cos or other crispy leaves
celery
big handfull of rasins
cheddar cheese cubed (loads)

The artichokes are the meat. Where'd you get them anyway? I've had them once and was impressed but I've never seen them in the shops.

The artichokes are the meat. Where'd you get them anyway? I've had them once and was impressed but I've never seen them in the shops.

I get them shipped from CA, along with pepperoncini, masa harina and mole.
You'll find masa in Ireland now, but if you can find mole, pepperoncini or canned artichoke hearts, let me know.
BTW, thanks Ian, for absolutely no help on the Monterey Jack front!

Or, steam up a few full artichokes....
Peel the leaves off, one by one, but only one at a time...
dip in melted butter or mayo...
scrape the leaf off your bottom teeth.
then, dice up the heart and throw it into your salad.
