Blood Orange and Pistachio Salad
/Use regular oranges to make this simple, flavourful dessert if blood oranges are unavailable.
Macadamia Nut, Fennel And Blood Orange Salad
/If you wish, you can use another kind of nut, but the thickness of macadamias compliments the oranges.
Macaroni and Potato Salad
/This classic side accompanies many a Hawaiian blue plate special, which typically consists of a protein and this hearty, very simple salad. It is very high in fat and probably not good for you, but tastes like food you remember from childhood.
Indian Chicken Salad Wrap
/You could use chicken breasts for this salad, but thighs make a much juicier sandwich. It would also work well with leftover chicken.
Read MoreCucumber-Radish Salad
/The little French radishes are superb in this salad, as are the icicle (white) ones. Use one kind or mix them up.
Herbal Thai Beef Salad
/Try this Thai-style version for an Asian twist on the typical beef salad. To make it spicier, add 1/2 teaspoon of either red or green curry paste to the vinaigrette. Use leftover steak or bought roast beef.

Read MoreTomato and Cucumber Salad

Read MoreSalad of Bitter Lettuce and Mushroom Confit
/Confit used to be reserved for preserving duck or goose. Today, the word is associated with any ingredient that is cooked long and slow in oil. Mushrooms are a great favourite of mine done this way - they have a juicy texture and interesting taste and can be used in salads, quickly sautéed as a side dish or served as a little hors d'oeuvre. You will end up with plenty of leftover herb-scented vegetable oil; just strain and use for cooking. These mushrooms will keep for at least 2 weeks covered in oil.
Warm Roasted-Potato Salad
/This recipe can also be served at room temperature.
Read MoreGrilled Oyster Mushroom Salad
/Oyster mushrooms are excellent on the grill and add another dimension to salads when torn into pieces and tossed in with the greens.
Mango and Snow Pea Salad
/The juiciest and most flavourful mangoes hit markets in late May, so use them to make a sensational salad starter. Look for wonderful teardrop-shaped Alphonso mangoes from India or their Mexican cousins, Ataulfo.
Read MoreStrawberry and Cucumber Salad
/This recipe was inspired by cookbook author and chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's strawberry and cucumber pickles. The salad makes a wonderful accompaniment to chicken or a great topping for melted brie.
Read MoreCorn and Tomato Salad
/If you are making corn on the barbecue, add a few extra ears to make this salad. It can also be made with cooked corn rather than grilled, but that doesn't have the same smoky flavour.
Read MoreBread and Anchovy Salad
/A riot of flavours, this recipe calls for lots of fried bread, but use only as much as you need. The rest will keep for two weeks in a plastic bag. You can also turn the crusts into dry breadcrumbs. If white anchovies aren't available, soak the regular jarred ones in milk for 15 minutes before chopping.
Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad
/This salad is easy to make and provides an excellent way to use this season's fresh, local green beans.
Read MoreMustardy Potato Salad
/This salad may be simple to make, but it has lots of great flavour.
Read MoreFig and Gorgonzola Salad
/Use a peppery lettuce mix for this salad to contrast the sweetness of the figs.
