Crayfish and pea shoot salad
Crayfish and pea shoot salad is a light salad with very few ingredients, but it’s very tasty and can be served on its own for a light lunch, or even as a starter for a 3 course dinner. When I made it today I wanted to try something new, so I made a pea and chive pesto to go with it. I also tried something I hadn’t tried before with a roasted red pepper, but more of that later.
Lemon Olive Oil
Now that we know how to store Olive Oil, and building on the twisted oil ideas. I thought it would be useful to share other recipes for transforming olive oil into something extra special.
Haiku Salad
It’s Haiku Friday
Time for a Haiku Salad
Rice, salad leaves, beef!
Haiku Friday is a bit of an institution on the web, this Haiku salad is my tribute to all those people who Haiku on a Friday, or any other day for that matter. For anyone who has been living under a rock, a Haiku, is a poem, originating in Japan, which follows a certain pattern. A Haiku poem consists of 3 lines, the first and third lines contain 5 syllables, and the second line contains 7 syllables, like the one above.
Fruit Salad Sundae
This is a really simple and delicious fruit salad sundae with Greek yogurt. It takes minutes to prepare, and as it can be prepared in advance and left to chill in the fridge it is perfect for dinner parties. It is best when you use the freshest fruit available, and you can use whichever fruit you like best.
Sweet chili prawn kebab salad
Sweet chili prawn kebab salad is a simple salad to make, even more so if you add a little cheat, like I did, and use a ready prepared sweet chili sauce to marinade the prawns. Don’t use a whole jar for the marinade though, you will want to save some to use as a dip.
Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices are invaluable ingredients for all types of cooking, not just when making salads. Herbs and spices add flavour and/or aroma to foods, enhancing meals in bold or subtle ways.
Of course we all have our favourite herbs and spices, and at the same time we have those that we are not so fond of, after all taste is a personal thing. There are also those times when we are following a recipe and find we do not have a particular herb or spice to hand, and in those situations we need an alternative, just as we would want to find an alternative to herb or spice we are not keen on.
