This dish is full of different flavours because of the garlic and parsley. Cucumber and tomato make it also very refreshing. Not to mention that squid is not very expensive and cooks in seconds. The dressing for this salad is really good. I think these give additional flavor to the dish. Ingredients 1 lb cleaned…
Caesar Salad Toasts
I wanted to come up with something delicious, relatively easy to mix together, and a little different in presentation. As a result, these caesar salad toasts are an alternative for one of the most popular salads to ring the changes. Ingredients 150g romaine lettuce 1/2 lb boiled chicken breast or grilled fillet 8 cherry tomatoes…
Parsley & Lettuce Salad
Oftentimes I’ll use parsley as a salad green, either using the leaves whole, or opting to cut them into a chiffonade (as done in this delicate salad.) Dressed with a simple vinaigrette, or a simple combination of 1tbsp lemon juice & 3tbsps olive oil (extra virgin) – either way, this is deliciously moreish! Ingredients 1…
Tuna Salad with Vegetables

Few of these salads resemble the iconic, authentic salad of Nice made with thin-skinned green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and other local vegetables such as baby artichokes and olives. It’s easy to make a…

Heat can…
Arugula Salad With La Tur
This salad takes the common, run of the mill blue cheese salad dressing, and improves upon it – a soft, milkier flavor and a more unctuous consistency make this the perfect thing to drizzle over fresh figs, baby arugula and some perfectly crisped prosciutto. Ingredients 3 to 4 slices prosciutto di Parma 4 ounces La…
Shrimp & Quinoa Salad with Lime & Ginger
The Asian overtones in this salad come from the zingy lime ginger dressing, and the heat of the cilantro and scallions. Makes for a perfect light lunch, side dish or supper. The shrimp which garnish the top of the salad can be omitted for vegetarians. Ingredients For the dressing 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)…
Green Papaya Salad
Green papaya salad goes by ‘som tum’ in Thailand, som means sour, while tum is a reference to the pounding sound a large pestle makes when crushing ingredients. Often eaten as a snack, or alongside marinated grilled chicken and beef. Ingredients 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic (peeled) ¼ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon dry-roasted…
