I mean a full salad meal. What a delight they are. For me the lunch tongue is the key ingredient. So here is what i use.

Salad potatoes (or fries)
Tongue and a good quality ham
Lettuce & beetroot
Boiled eggs
Cheese & carrot
Tomatoes
Peanuts
Peach
Homemade coleslaw and shop potato salad

Think that's it. Basic i know but so tasty and healthy.


What else could you add.

Garlic clove (to rub out the bowl)
 
  • Lettuce
  • Carrot
  • Cucumber
  • Spring Onions
  • Chopped Cheery Tomatoes
  • Pepperdew
  • Grated Cheese

This is one of my favourite combos but there are other things I will swap around such as different meats, beetroot etc to change things up a bit.
 
Mixed leaves, preferably including rocket
Thinly sliced cucumber
thinly sliced tomato
shaved carrot
grated chedder cheese
boiled egg
red pepper
some kind of deli counter pasta dish.

pickled onions
Sliced ham

Always make me happy eating those ;)

Some nice ideas - always think I should make more salad based meals rather than just have a bit on the plate.

I generally don't get any more adventurous than lettuce, tomato, beetroot + leaves and a crushed clove of garlic.

Some amazing 'veg hedge' plumb tomatoes for sale around my way, so unbelievably good.
 
I could happily leave lettuce out of a salad. It's so dreadfully tedious after a couple of bites I just can't be bothered to eat the rest.
 
A salad cannot be ultimate without balsamic vinegar and a great Italian extra virgin olive oil imo.

Depends on the type of lettuce. If its something tasteless and mundane like iceberg, then you'll get bored fast. Something a bit more zesty would be better. Or even some mixed leaves for variety :D
 
- Mixed leaves inc rocket, maybe some extra wild rocket
- Sliced up sundried tomatoes
- Feta
- Olives
- Small, posh tomatoes of some kind
- Celery
- Cucumber (thickish slices cut into triangles)
- Torn chicken
- Balsalmic dressing
- Black pepper
