Salads for a BBQ

[Rainbow_Mumma]

We are having a few people over this weekend (including us there will be 8 of us) and I'm on salad duty.
I don't want your everyday boring salad but not too out there either.
What do you put in your salads, what dressings do you use?
Do you have a good potato salad recipe?

I dont have a potato salad but my guests loves my baby spinach salad with roasted pine nuts and roast pumpkin drizzled in (anny brand) honey mustard dressing)

My family all seem to perfer a potato bake rather than a potato salad.... just an idea

[Samcougar]

I make a potato salad that i never have any left overs of, it's simple but nice

Potatos Cut into bite size peices and I steam them or you can boil them untill tender
Praise Creamy Mayo
Shallots sliced finely or a finely sliced red onion (whatever you have)
Boiled eggs chopped
Seeded Mustard

Gently mix all together but the potato has to be hot. You can put it in the fridge and serve it cold or make it last minuite and serve warm it's up to you!

I do one like Samcougars and another one
I guesstimate the portions

Potatoes cut into 2cm cubes and cooked until just soft (a bit squishy)
Frozen mint peas (cooked)
Green beans (cooked)
Bag of baby spinach
honey soy dressing
(I Like to add some paprika chicken as well- strips of chicken, coated with sweet paprika before cooking)

Also....Have you ever made the salad on the back of the changs crunchy noodle packet? It's the best and always popular at our place!

my sister makes a killer green bean salad. Blanch the beans. Chop them a bit them chuck in some halved cherry tomatoes. Any thing else that is to hand that you fancy. Dress with balsamic and olive oil and salt and pepper.

a very simple salad is
baby spinach
rocket
finely sliced pear
shaved parmessen tossed together

lemon juice and olive oil drizzled over for dressing.

Pink Salad:

Cheese cubed (I use the NASTY kraft non refrigerated cheese... I know it sounds bad... but it's the only cheese that works!)
Boiled Eggs Cubed
Baby Beats (tinned) Cubed
Whole Egg Mayo

[MistyFying]

You can combine watermelon, rocket and pine nuts too. Very yummy.

My MIL makes a really yummy pineapple and celery salad, has walnuts in it as well. You use the pineapple skin as a server. Lots of different variations with this one on google.
