I like adding white beans/cannellini beans to a salad. They help keep me full.

Thanks for all the great salad recipes. My latest salad is leafy greens with grated beetroot, fennel, red capsicum, spring onion, radish, cracked freekah, goats feta and a balsamic dressing.

Flageolets are great for that as well, they taste great, are cute (I know, it's pathetic... :razz: ) and are full of proteins.

Great thread and some brilliant ideas. Never tried making a warm salad before, so definitely going to have a go - I adore roasted veg like butternut squash.

Some of my favourite salad ingredients are (not all together and not just on their own!) olives, sweetcorn, pickled onions, sun-dried tomatoes. I usually need a bit of zing in whatever I'm eating, so I add Tabasco to salad dressing. Or pickled jalapeno peppers. Or ricotta stuffed peppers from Sainsbury's - love those, just enough zing to make it interesting.

I love spring onion too but rarely use it in a salad. I always worry after eating it that I'll be able to drop a person at 10 paces just by breathing on them! :wink:

I just look in cook books. Generally not all salads need lettuce leaves. Once you get over that premise then salads can consist of only a few tasty ingredients and you can have two or more 'salads' on your plate.
