Angeline from Singapore sent over these fabulous potluck salad recipes and wanted us to share them with you. We think they are full of color and texture, making them magically delicious.
potluck salad n° 1
- 3 oz mixed leaves (mine were organic mixed baby greens from earthbound farm but any mix would do)
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 kiwi
- blueberries
- walnuts
- almonds
1. Simply layer leaves with chunks of grapefruit & diced kiwi.
2. The final top layer had scattered blueberries, walnuts and almonds. some grapes would greatly improve this mix, as grapes are definitely sweet, whereas grapefruits, kiwis & blueberries may not necessarily be. cherries, if they are in season, would also be great, especially white cherries.
Angeline says she personally doesn’t use salad dressing, only the occasional dash of balsamic vinegar if the salad is very plain (like a single leaf + a single fruit & no nuts).
potluck salad n° 2
- 2 oz mixed leaves (as above)
- 1 apple
- 1 pear
- blueberries
- walnuts
- almonds
- juice from half a lemon
1. layer the leaves, this time with apple & pear chunks. The lemon juice was used to prevent the apple from turning brown (so lightly coat your apple slices in the lemon juice before adding them into your salad). In this case, red apples would have been better than green, or a mix could also be good.
2. Then sprinkle in the blueberries, walnuts and almonds. If you are without these nuts, they could also be substituted with sunflower seeds or raw cashews. Other ingredients that could be added include carrot curls on top, both to decorate as well as to add to the taste and nutritional mix, and baby cherry tomatoes. of course all these will also work for the potluck salad n° 1.
Aren’t salads the easiest ?!!! They allow for a ton of flexibility with ingredients, as you can use what’s in season.
Angeline is from Singapore, and she loves eating real food to enjoy its natural flavor and hence fruit and nuts top my list. They are easy, accessible, colorful, healthy and above all, taste great and never the same. She is currently studying for a real estate license, but otherwise, she graduated from art school with a degree in painting, and she’s trilingual in English, French (2nd language) and Mandarin (spoken only)
