Kilner jars are perfect for a healthy and delicious salad. The
dressing goes on the bottom, with heavier or harder ingredients
making up the next layer(s), perhaps topped off with some fresh
leafy greens. Everything stays crisp and separate until it is time
to toss the salad in a bowl ready to serve and enjoy. When made
ahead these 125 tempting and innovative recipes last for days in
the fridge for almost a week's worth of lunches and/or dinners.
These 'grab and go' salads are ideal on those harried weekday
mornings or busy weekends. Tanya Linton includes creative snacks
and breakfasts as well as a chapter devoted to rice bowls and even
desserts. Lettuce-based salads like Italian Salad (chopped salami,
spicy green beans, white beans and Pecorino), Green Goddess (sugar
snap peas, proper peas and edamame with hoisin chicken) or Sweet
and Salty Salad (rocket, figs, buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto)
are great for the whole family. For something more hearty, there
are also noodle and grain/legume based salads like Pasta Carbonara
Salad (pasta, cooked eggs, cooked pancetta, baby arugula), Chicken
Soup Salad (noodles, carrots, celery, chopped kale and chicken) and
Layered Tabbouleh Salad (cous cous, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley,
onion). For a dessert idea for an office celebration or a picnic,
Pretty Pavlovas, Layered Cheater Chocolate Cheesecake and Banana
Bread Parfait are favourites.
