Healthy Salad Recipes

Salad is the staple meal for many mediterranean countries, and can go much farther than you think. The standard
lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad has certainly had its day, and now they feature very rarely in salads.
Healthy salad combinations are sometimes difficult to come up with, so if you have any suggestions to make, please

Ultimate Feel-Good salad
This salad is full of superfoods that will make your body very appreciative, and make you feel amazingly vibrant and
alive.

Place washed, fresh spinach in a salad bowl, followed by halved mini tomatoes, chunks of red pepper, strips of
mackerel, loads of olive oil and sliced black olives. Mix these around and eat straight away. Feel free to be inventive
with this salad and add any extras you desire, for example, cubed goats/feta cheese or sliced nuts/seeds.


Greek Salad
Place finely sliced red onion in a bowl with chopped plum tomatoes, diced cucumber and Greek Kalamata olives.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and Greek olive oil, season, then toss well. Serve in a large salad bowl topped with
chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley.

Don't forget to serve it with some chunks of grilled wholegrain bread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs. A
little tzatziki or dill dip on the side wouldn't hurt either.


Avocado Herb Salad
Tip lamb's lettuce into a serving dish. Scatter over some coriander leaves, mint leaves and snipped chives and gently
mix into the lettuce. Peel, stone and cube or slice an avocado and arrange over the leaves. Whisk together lime juice
and avocado oil and season well. Drizzle over the salad. Serve straight away.


Tuna and Bean Salad
Place a can of cannellini beans in a bowl. Flake a jar of  tuna and add it to the beans. Add a pack of fresh basil to the
bowl, with half a diced cucumber, some halved radishes and half a red onion. Season and mix well.Just before
serving, drizzle the salad with some balsamic vinegar and some olive oil. Serve with crusty bread, such as poppy
seeded batard.


Watermelon and Feta Salad
Cut half a melon into large wedges and cut away the skin. Cut the melon into 2.5cm chunks. Arrange these in a dish
and then crumble 200g feta over the top. Scatter over 50g toasted pine nuts. Tear a bunch of basil leaves roughly and
add these, then drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with pepper (you shouldn't need any extra salt as the feta is very
salty). Serve straight away.
