Interesting salads?

Couldn't be bothered to cook today (don't tell glass)
Going to bed soon!

Thanks you, some great ideas. French supermarkets are full of exotic vegetables and fruits. I love avocado and shrimps, and three bean salad. Usually, the only hot thing I add are bacon pieces, but I am willing to have a go at anything. I buy a baguette and cut it into pieces about 3" long and freeze them. I take one out of the freezer every morning to have with my lunch.
My daughter in New Zealand makes the best salads I have ever tasted - their bbqs are great,
Today, my cooked meat was sliced duck's breast, cooked very quickly for two minutes each side so it was still very pink.
I am not bothered about calories - I am back to walking for several hours a day up very steep mountain paths. My weight is now just under 10 stone,or 63 Kgs. - down from nearly 12 stone 18 months ago. In fact, I don't really want to lose any more as it has mainly gone from my upper body, which was always much slimmer than my hips and thighs. My cheeks are a bit hollow and I have lost most of my bosom! However, I am not bothered about my appearance and the weight loss has certainly helped my knees. I can walk twice as far now without getting out of breath and can climb the steepest paths. My bp is down to 116/88 when I get back from a tough walk. Granjura nags me because she thinks I am not getting enough carbs! I cut a baguette into pieces about 3" long and freeze them and every morning I take one out to unfreeze ready for my lunch.

Couldn't face salad today - pasta with sautéed tomatoes and mushrooms.

I have a big bowl of salad every day for lunch. Some other additions....

Raw shelled peas
Bean sprouts
Crab sticks
Sprinkles of dried chilli flakes
Jalapenos
Raw mushrooms

If you're counting calories a tiny dob of mayo or salad cream with a tbsp of balsamic vinegar is good.

grated carrot, mayonnaise (or a little orange juice/chopped orange, if you prefer), pumpkin seeds, sultanas. Good with a baked potato and cheese.

If it wasn't so d**n cold and wet I might be able to work up some enthusiasm for salads - but a the mo I crave comfort food, soups, stews and hot chocloate!

I do eat the same food every day; depending on my mood I'll eat pretty much the same stuff for days and then switch to something else. However, I would like to be rich and go to restaurants and taste lots of different foods [sushi for example].I hate cooking. Can quite happily have porridge as a main meal .

Funny that ana,
I am very interested in food but would also be happy to eat the same salad every day.

greatnan
grated beetroot
finely chopped walnuts
garlic, crushed
grated cheese
mayo.

Fresh orange and cucumber both cut into chunks.

Finely shredded fennel with a dressing is nice and I like to add hot fine beans, or asparagus in season. I like them hot on a bed of spinach leaves.

Can you get nice beetroot Greatnan?

I'm not very interested in food. I could eat the same salad every day and it wouldn't bother me. We're all different!

I sometimes add crispy bacon and some sliced boiled egg with balsamic dressing. If we are having it in the evening I add diced and fried black pudding and some new potatoes. It's called full English salad!!

Avocado and prawns.

I also buy a big tub of Munchy Seeds chilli mix (when I can find them) and a spoonful sprinkled over any salad is delicious and not too hot, just tasty.

I often use mixed beans with a little salad dressing especially if I am not having meat.

What about tinned or bottled artichokes Greatnan? Delicious in a warm salad with a little vinaigrette, just cut in half and toss them around in a frying pan for 30 seconds with a little olive oil then when they're hot, add them to the salad leaves. Apples, walnuts, anchovies, chargrilled peppers and courgettes?

I love a hot salad and I add roasted vegetables like peppers red onions,garlic
Courgette,and tomatoes,I use a very low calorie honey and mustard dressing...
