What is the best salad ever? that you can make at home?

Answer 1

I have two for you, both very simple:

Baby lettuce tossed with
Raspberry vinegrette dressing and
Grated asiago cheeze with
Candied pecans &
Fresh raspberries (if available, also great w/out)


Mixed greens with
Sliced green onions
Grated carrots
Annies goddess dressing (or another tahini dressing)
Roasted, unsalted pistachios from Traker Joes

Those salads are huge hits whenever I serve them to anyone and they are super easy!

Answer 2

7 layer salad

tear small head of lettuce into bite size pieces and layer the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish.
then layer 1 onion, chopped finely
next spread 1 can sliced water chestnuts
then spread 1 10 oz box frozen peas
carefully spread 1 cup mayo or salad dressing (Miracle Whip) over the top
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over entire top
Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Place in the refrigerator for about an hour, more if necessary. It will keep for at least 5 hours before eating. When ready to serve, cut through to make it easier to get single servings for everyone. I've had this with crumbled bacon added on the top too, and it's very good, but my original recipe did not include it, nor do I most times that I make it.

It's very tasty, easy and looks nice.

Answer 5

Potato Salad
Ingredients

new potatoes
vegan mayonnaise or salad dressing
chives (optional)
spring onions (optional)
wholegrain mustard (optional)
garlic (optional)


Boil enough potatoes for the amount of people that you are serving. It doesn’t matter if you peel them or not (but make sure they are washed). Once they are cooked either leave them to cool if you are going to serve them cold and add the dressing later. If you plan to serve them hot add the dressing immediately.

As the main dressing either use a vegan mayonnaise or salad cream. Depending on the flavour you require add either crushed garlic, finely chopped spring onions, finely chopped chives or wholegrain mustard for a Cajun style dressing.
