recipes for salads in hot summer - from all over the world please:-)

Hey buddies,

 

who wants to give me the best recipe for a nice salad in these superhot summer days?

I am from Germany and we are huge fans of "Grillen" (kind of barbeque but not with burgers - steaks and sausages..)

and nothing is better than a nice noddle salat added to it.

 

But I am sick of it.-)

Who gives me a better recipe? maybe from another country? I love avocado.. or I dont know - surprise me..

 

thanks and if you wanna get the bet recipe for my noodle salad - I could in exchange give it to you

I have been thinking about making this for the past couple of days. This is from the oldest restaurant in Florida. It's a Cuban restaurant but this recipe was developed here in the states. At the restaurant they bring out all of the ingredients and prepare it table side. Good stuff, especially if you like green olives.

Noooooooooo!!!

„This Website is currently not accessible for european...“

 

Noooooooooo!!!!

I was so curious. And hungry!!!

Can you copy and paste it into this thread?

Google "columbia 1905 salad", there are several websites that have the recipe, I'm sure most of them are accessible over there.

I love Avocadoes.

I love the Columbia 

 

I've been to the one in St. Augustine, the one in Kissimmee and the original in Ybor. Almost always get the salad but the ropa vieja is good as well. And the bread....man oh man that's some good Cuban bread....

Marigolds Salad

 

(It all depends on the question how big is a vegetable where you live or which ingredient do you want to have most of.

Normally we have as much vegetable in this salad as meat sausages peaces)

 

300 g - 500 g cooked and chilled noodles (with or without gluten, you can decide), I prefer the italian ones called "penne"

1 - 2 big peppers

glas of pickled gherkins (sweet-Spicy)

1 tin of sweet corn

3 spring onions (or more)

optional: peas (out of a tin, or cooked and chilled)

150 g meat sausage (chicken, not pork)

chopped chives

 

All ingredients except the noodles should be cut into small peaces - so that you are able to get all ingredients into your mouth with one spoon:-)

 

Dressing:

3 spoons native Olive Oil

1,5 Spoons rice vinegar (or other vinegar that is mild)

Sea salt 1-2 tea spoons

1 spoon mustard (now here comes the best: either choose sweet mustard OR french mustard OR grainy mustard)

If you are able to hold that salad cool and not put it into the bright sun, you can also add some mayonnaise:-)

 

Its the best to let the salad untouched for 2-6 hours in the cooler and then.. enjoy..

 

 

bon appétit

 

 

My eating is very restricted atm but one I used to like is:

 

Caramelise some red onion cut as rings by baking the in the oven with olive oil.

 

Rip up some little or sweet gem lettuce leaves.

 

Mix lettuce with caramelised onion, walnut pieces and drizzle with a little walnut oil.

 

Mix it all together.

 

Top with Parmesan shavings (or hard goats cheese if you can’t do cow dairy).

My favorite salad of all time is German potato salad. Not really a "summer" salad but man, it's tasty.

 

Wish I could find a good recipe for artichoke salad. My mom bought some pre-made in a jar one time and I loved it but I can't find it anymore and the recipes I have tried to make weren't as good.

Yeah! And every county has its own recipe for german potato salad. some are with bacon, others with cucumber.. and all are very delicious.

Of course mine is the best.. 

 

And yes - we normally eat healthy in comparison to other countries but when its time to put meat over a fire, we have these heavy salads on top.

And a nice desert after it. Thats why you can not make a diet in summer

Half a box of tri color rotini, cooked

 

Shredded mozzarella cheese

 

Thin julienned salami

 

About 4 cocktail Compari tomatoes, cut in half

 

Sliced black olives

 

Any kind of italian dressing you like.

 

Serve cold

YEAH! GREAT! The black olives seem to be the WOWeffect here...

Nice!

Now something more healthy:-))

 

fennel salad

 

chop this:

 

1-2 fennel (chopped in thin slices)

1 pepper red

1 cup of Walnut kennels

1/2 cup of chive

Salt

Pepper if you want

 

2 Spoons Olive Oil

1 Spoon Vinegar

 

Leave it in the cooler for 2 hours before serving!

 

 

I made my yummy warm green bean and tomato salad I haven’t had for months last night.

 

Cook some French/Fine beans.

 

Hope about the same amount of tomatoes as beans in to small pieces.

 

Finely chop some red onion - about quarter of amount of tomatoes.

 

Put tomatoes and onion in a bowl.

 

I add Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, sea salt and black pepper, but you could use any dressing you like - maybe oil and lemon juice is can’t tolerate other stuff atm - mix it all up with the tomatoes and onion.

 

Add the cooked beans while still warm and mix it all together.

 

 

I had a delicious Taco salad at Wendys about a month ago.  It's weird to me that hot meat on cold lettuce could taste as good as it does. 

 

This recipe seems similar to it.  I didn't want any dressing on it, as the chili/meat was flavorful enough.  https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/14300/moms-hot-mexican-salad/
