4 Easy Recipes to Make The Perfect Summer Salad.

Salads are the staple of the healthy food community, and we at Miss-President approve of that, Salad is the healthiest food in the world, in my opinion, I truly love the idea of combining raw or cooked vegetables and fruits to make something great-(Never forget the dressing!) We all know there is no such thing as a bad salad, The whole idea of a salad is combining whatever vegetables and fruits you need in order to make the perfect mix to suit your needs at a particular time. I’m going to share the best salads for you to try out this holiday season.

The recipes below are meant to guide you, but don’t feel the need to run to the store right away to get these exact ingredients. It’s always alright to improvise with any raw veggies or nuts that you already have and want to use before they spoil. Just remember, salads are an easy and delicious way to get key vitamins and nutrients into your diet. Use what you’ve got, make it beautiful, and know that you can’t go wrong. Follow the simple recipe below:

Ingredients: 2–3 cups of chopped boiled chicken breast, 2 Chopped stalks of celery, 1/2 seeded and chopped red bell pepper, 4–6 minced green olives, 1/4 Cup of chopped red onion, 1/2 apple, cored and chopped, 1/3 head chopped iceberg lettuce, 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sweet berry preserves, 2 teaspoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of Salt and 1/4 teaspoon of Pepper.

Ingredients: Medium sized cabbage, Medium sized carrots, Lettuce leaves, Chopped green beans, Green peas, Cooked Eggs, A can of baked beans, Cucumbers, Salad Cream/Mayonnaise.

P.S. The quantity of ingredients depends on the number of people yearning to taste your amazing salad. Recommendations: I recommend the Heinz Salad cream brand, the addition of it always seems to take vegetable salad above the 100 percent bench mark. If you can’t get access to Salad cream though, Mayonnaise brands like Bama could be used.

Ingredients: 2 medium navel oranges, peeled and sectioned, 2 medium kiwifruit, peeled and sliced 1–1/2 cups halved seedless red grapes, 1 cup of sliced peeled apple, 1 cup of diced honeydew melon, 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1–1/2 cups sliced ripe bananas.

Recommendations: I actually recommend this fruit salad for people having any form of health challenge as the fruits contained here provide enough nutrients and vitamins to bolster your immune system. I actually learnt about this recipe when my aunt made it for my mum when she was a little sick a while ago.

Ingredients: 1 small cabbage, 1 small green bell pepper, ½ tin of green peas, 2 medium sized carrots, 1 medium onion, 5 tablespoons of salad cream/mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon sugar, A pinch of Salt.

Angel’s Two-Cents: I’d use this medium to chip in on the debate on whether coleslaw is a salad or not, and my take is-DEFINITELY it is, because by definition, Salad is a cold dish of various mixtures of raw or cooked vegetables, and of course we all know coleslaw is basically a blend of finely shredded cabbage, carrots and a few other crunchy vegetables which is then generously dressed with mayonnaise and salad cream.

P.S. Please try to eat your coleslaw with BBQ Chicken or Barbecue Ribs and I promise it will change your life (You can thank me later!).
