No Boring Salads please!

written by The Food Lover April 22, 2017
No Boring Salads please!

No one would understand how much I hated vegetables and fruits growing up….they were my arch-enemies! I associated the name ‘Salad’ with these enemies and it was war till the struggle to keep fit pressured me into making them my friends. These days, I crave greens the same way I crave sweets, I go to restaurants and I look through the Salad menu. Today, I would be sharing with you 2 home-made salads and 2 salads from restaurants that I absolutely love!

 

Lettuce Chicken Salad with Blueberry Bread Croutons (Home-made)

 

Ingredients

  • Grilled chicken drumsticks
  • Lettuce
  • Blueberry bread
  • Mayonnaise

Method

  • Shred grilled chicken & lettuce
  • Fry blueberry bread till crunchy (croutons)
  • Plate Lettuce & chicken
  • Slather with mayonnaise
  • Top with croutons

 

Apple Coleslaw

 

Ingredients 

  • Carrot
  • Cabbage
  • Crunchy green apple
  • Soft red apple
  • Maple syrup
  • Lemon

Method

  • Cut carrot and cabbage (coleslaw style)
  • Chop green apple (bite-size)
  • Dice red apple into desirable shape
  • Dress with a mixture of maple syrup & juice of lemon
  • Plate as desired

Chicken Noodle Salad (Cafe Royale, VI, Lagos)Chicken breast strips, carrots, onions, red bell pepper, celery & cilantro served over linguini pasta tosses with peanut gingered dressing

The size of this dish scared me at first, thought it was a lot but I dug in and could not stop till my plate was clean. I love pasta and I love chicken, marrying both in each fork full was pure bliss….

 

Shrimp Salad (Cactus, VI, Lagos)Avocado, tomatoes, shrimp, lettuce & thousand island dressing

I love the freshness of this salad….you would never catch me eating fresh tomatoes alone but on this day, I am not sure if it was the shrimps or avocados that made the difference. The mashup in my mouth felt GOOD!

Hi! My name is Ify Larry-Agugor and I am an amateur cook. My love for food is out of this World! I am not sure what to do with all the excitement I feel when I cook or eat out so I thought...why not share my food experiences with other people.
