Mixed Green Salad

This is about mixing whatever vegetables you like to eat, drizzle with the dressing, toss and serve! I brought this for church lunch today and one of the sisters asked me if this is some Italian dressing because she thought it was nice. Well, if you realize, I seldom do salads and know nothing much about western style cooking, so I have no idea what Italian dressing is or if there is such a thing ;p Hahaha…
Anyway, I am glad that even the ‘meat person’ VIP likes it :)


Ingredients:
Olive oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)
Lemon Juice
Garlic (crushed)
Sugar
Parsley (chopped finely)
Apple Cider Vinegar


Method:
1. Just mix everything together and toss it with the greens.

Don’t ask me about how many tsp or tbsp for those ingredients because I just agak-agak lo…;p

Cucumber & Carrot Salad

I wanted to bring some food over to a friend's BBQ dinner and I thought salad would be the perfect choice since I don't have much time to prepare anything complicated on a weekday. This is another trial and error recipe as I just used whatever I have in my fridge ;p
The taste is quite good and the dinner host said it's a good combination of vegetables. :)


Ingredients:
Cucumbers
Carrots
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Mayonaise
Thousand Island salad dressing
Lemon


Method:
1. Cut all the vegetables in slides.
2. Put all the vegetables in a bowl and mix in the mayonaise, thousand island and squeeze in some lemon juice. 3. Add in the raisins and dried cranberries. Mix well.
4. Serve chilled.

*I named it cucumber and carrot salad because these 2 are the main ingredients but you can change the amount of each vegetables used according to your preference.

Coleslaw

Here's another "idiot-proof" recipe which requires no cooking but tastes great. I prepared this for our church's pot-bless lunch and someone said it's like the coleslaw from KFC but I think it's a little different from that fast food chain's cabbage salad. So, even if you don't like KFC's version, you can still try this! Haha...

Ingredients:
Cabbage
Carrot (Australian carrot is better than local and China carrots as it's 'sweeter')
Lady's Choice Coleslaw dressing
Lemon

Method:
1. Cut cabbage and carrot into small pieces/cubes.
2. Add in the coleslaw dressing and mix it well.
3. Squeeze in some lemon juice.
4. Mix it and keep in a container and leave it in the fridge until it's chilled.
5. Dig it! Yummy...

Apple Salad

I simply love this salad. It’s so idiot-proof and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:
Red apples
Marigold low fat yoghurt (peach flavour)
Raisins

* You can use any kind of yoghurt and flavour but I find Marigold yoghurt is better than Nestle’s (too diluted). I use peach flavour because it’s my fav!

** Other fruits such as honeydew, pears, strawberries, etc can also be added.


Method:
1. Cut apples into small bite size pieces.
2. Put the apples into a bowl and mix in the yoghurt.
3. Add in the raisins.
4. Mix well. Serve chilled.
