"I had salad for lunch. Sweetcorn, red onion, yellow pepper, cucumber & tomatoes, with chilli olive oil and lime juice for dressing. With some feta crumbled on top. "
Sounds like the one I do sometimes, what there is in the fridge and always some sweetcorn as I love it and feta whenever I have any though normally do as love a greek salad too.  |

"I quite like the Russian salad you get as tapas in Spain. All the different regional versions."
It's that Olivier one above on the list. It was it's original name. And yes, I like it too and so easy to make |

I love my version of Turkish Shepherd salad - chopped lettuce, green pepper, tomatoes, parsley and red onion, with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and sumac… even nicer with grilled halloumi, chicken or lamb  |

There is a great French one that's a favourite of mine. Slice chicory and perfectly ripe Comice pears. Crumble Roquefort and walnuts into the bowl. Add rocket and black pepper croutons, then mix a vinaigrette (tablespoon of Dijon mustard, tablespoon of white wine vinegar, sunflower oil in a dribble until emulsified, add tarragon or other herbs if liked, and season to taste), and serve with warm, crusty baguette.
It's a lovely balance of flavours and textures. It also works well with figs or russet apples instead of pears. |

It’s not summer-like in the UK at the moment, but I had a salad yesterday that reminded me of refreshing summer salads. It was so nice, I woke up today craving it.
White small beans
Edamame
Pearled couscous
Celery
Fresh dill
Parsley
Capers
Spring onion
Artichoke hearts
Toasted pecans (the recipe said pine nuts but I couldn’t find any where I’m at)
Halloumi (the recipe said feta crumbles but I also couldn’t find this. I d see oak the halloumi, after slicing, in boiling water for ten minutes before pan frying dry. It’s the best way to “grill” halloumi.)
With a vinaigrette of: olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, garlic, fresh oregano, parsley, white pepper and salt
