I'm looking for some new salad recipes for Shabbos (not fresh salad... I have loads of those).

Any ideas? (and before anyone suggests it, I checked through all the salad posts already!) Anyone tried anything new lately?

what do you mean by salads when you say not a fresh salad?

She must mean either pickled, like a slaw, or cooked, like ratatoulle.

what veggies do you like or have on hand? OR just recipes in general? Sorry to ask so many questions, I just don't want to give you something you aren't looking for.

I actually never made the fruit salad but my friend always makes it and says how good it is. It's not supposed to be a set jello, the jello is only there for flavoring, just mix everything together in a container and serve (or refrigerate).

For the health salad you can add other vegetables you like, I forgot to write cut up baby corns but I always add that, it's delicious, snap peas are also good.

Sorry but had to ask. A health salad which has 3/4 c. sugar? That seems a lot.

People call carrots "sugar", but come on! It's not an Oreo!

I change what I put in my salads all the time. I just experiment if I think a different vegetable would go well in it.

bashinda, in general, in these oil/vinegar/sugar dressings you can cut down a lot on the measurements.

corn and bean salad is really yum
[color=darkblue]2 cans corn
1 can red beans
chopped onion, green and red pepper
chopped or sliced green olives
marinate with 2Tb olive oil,
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
garlic powder
basil
salt/pepper
(I also pour in a little olive 'juice')

also red potato salad
I make it with spices and Miracle Whip and chives etc. and you can also add chunks of smoked turkey!

rattatouille is good also on top of basmati rice

yeah cut out most of that sugar ... you don't need it all !!!

and chocolate moosey a carrot's sugar is way healthier than that of an Oreo What

I have seen corn salad with a can of sweet corn ... cut up red pepper and mayo and spices

[quote="greenfire"]and chocolate moosey a carrot's sugar is way healthier than that of an Oreo What

But a carrot is looked down on, nutritionally.

This is a recipe that I like:

Health Salad– can be used for Pesach, too
This is a great make ahead recipe. Shred a small head green cabbage, one carrot, a small onion, and green or red bell pepper if using. I slice in a cucumber. Heat 1/2 cup oil (I use much less), 3/4 cup sugar & 1/2 cup lemon juice to rolling boil. Add 1 tsp. salt . Pour over veggies. Let stand in fridge. Is even good a week later!

Yes, it's got sugar, but it';s also got a lot of cabbage, carrots, onions, and a pepper and cuke. We're not diabetic, BH, so why can't we enjoyit?
