Re: Salad Recipes ..
great thread CB.. I absolutely love salads !
***Chicken Mediterranean Salad:
So for a quick-fix chicken Mediterranean salad..not giving quantities as everybody can adjust them according to the number of servings they want and to their taste
Ingredients:
Red or dutch onions (whatever kind you prefer)
cucumbers
cherry tomatoes
feta cheese cubes
red and green peppers
iceburg lettuce
black pitted olives
for chicken marinade:
mustard sauce
chilli garlic sauce
olive oil
salt
pepper
chilli powder
garlic paste
ginger paste
dressing:
very little olive oil (just about a few drops)
lemon juice
vinegar
salt and pepper
chaat masala (optional)
Mix ginger garlic paste, chilli garlic sauce, salt, pepper, chilli sauce, and mustard sauce until a smooth paste is formed. Apply this on chicken breast cut into thin strips and keep aside for at least 10-15 minutes. Fry in a little amount of olive oil. To make it healthier, you can also grill the chicken without oil.
Meanwhile coarsely chop and slice all the salad ingredients in a large salad bowl. Add in feta cheese cubes and chicken strips and mix thoroughly.
Add the squeezed lemon juice, vinegar (again just about a very few drops, you can omit it altogether too) salt, pepper, chaat masala and/or red pepper and a few drops of olive oil and mix well. Drizzle over salad. Mix the salad together and serve immediately.
(you can also add croutons into the salad)
Don’t have a pic of the salad I make lately, but this is what it somewhat looks like.

Following are my two fav. salads
Spinach salad:
Ingredients :
Baby spinach
walnuts chopped
Pear
Oranges
Grapes.
dressing:
Orange juice
Lemon juice
Salt
Black pepper
Pinch of sugar
Mix the dressing and toss will salad ingredients. You can also add cranberries or raisins to it or replace pear with apples.
Thai Mango Salad:
Firm Mangoes (i think the big green ones sold here are best, they are called red mangoes i guess)
Red bell pepper
roasted peanuts or cashew nuts
little bit of match stick carrots
handful of mixed greens or lettuce
cilantro chopped
for dressing :
lime juice
fish sauce or soy sauce
sugar
salt (fish sauce is very salty so taste before adding salt)
red chilli flakes
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together
you can omit the mixed greens. cut mangoes and bell peppers in thin matchsticks. Put mangoes in ice cold water to crisp them up and then drain. Add thinly sliced coriander , carrots and mixed greens. Toss with dressings and top with toasted coarsely chopped peanuts
