This is a light and tasty salad, perfect for a summers day picnic or lunch food! I don’t really measure when I make foods like this, I just throw stuff in a pot and cook it! Its really simple and you cannot go wrong with a recipe like this. …
Pesto Rapini Potato Salad
I had my cousins over for dinner tonight and I made a delicious homemade spaghetti sauce served with spaghetti, of course. I was in need for a side dish, I had some rapini but not enough to feed two families with! I needed to ‘bulk’ it up a bit! Since I was craving potato salad today and was planning on making rapini, I came up with this delicious salad.
I get this pesto sauce from an Italian delicatessen, it’s called ‘Berni’ Pesto al Basilico. I only mention it so that I don’t forget the name of it (I have a bad memory), it is made in Italy and it tastes so good! Of course nothing beats homemade pesto, but I like to keep a jar of this stuff for an easy dinner or side dish starter….
Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Tomato and cucumber salad is one of my favourite salads! Its easy to make, and is good for you! My kids love this with fresh bread just like I did when I was a kid…dipping the bread in the juices is the best part! I like to add feta cheese to it as well sometimes. It makes for a great side dish or on its own for lunch. …
Rubik’s Cube Salad
Playing with my food again….I have been wanting to try the Rubik’s cube salad for a while now but I was intimidated as I am not good with chopping and cutting. I tried my best to make the cubes the same size and put it all together, I think I did okay for the first time. It is no where close to the perfect ones I have seen on the net…but for me it’s good! …
Ambrosia Salad
One of my favourite treats when I was a kid was my Aunt Angela’s marshmallow, or ambrosia salad I just loved it, still do till today! I came across a similar salad ambrosia-or-five-cup-salad by deelicioussweets which I tried out today as well and loved it!
Can’t decide which I like better, one has a nostalgic taste to it and the other a new fresh twist! After comparing the two I combined them in one big bowl, yeah I am one happy girl;)…
Choban Salatasi ~ Shepherd’s Salad
This is family favourite salad that I make all throughout the summer, it best in the summer as the tomatoes are the juiciest and are in season. Get some nice bread, a Calabrese or French loaf goes lovely with this, with some tea, cheese and some olives you will have a wonderful lunch or light dinner.

Salad with Feta Cheese – Grandpa’s Salata
This is my Grandfathers (gjyshi in Albanian) way of making salad, when ever I make it I get transported back to that big old house, sitting at the huge cherry wood dining table with that patterned vinyl table cloth in the dining room with my grandparents. In the summer he would use the veggies from the garden except for the lettuce as he never grew them in the garden. It was always so good, the oregano and feta makes this salad extra special! My grandfather loved oregano, used it in a lot of his recipes. …
Beet & Yogurt Dip -Pancar Salatasi
Pancar salatasi means beet salad or dip in Turkish, it’s like tzatziki ot tarator made with beets instead of cucumbers. I found these lovely candy & golden beets at the grocery store, so I made three different dips. They’re all naturally gorgeous in colour, you can make it with different colour beets for a pretty presentation or just make it with one, all are perfectly wonderful! …
