Home made dips & Salads...

[Jakabella]

So the BBQ weather is apon us and I want to have a few bbqs!

I was wondering as you cant eat shop dips and sallads I could make my own.

So If I was to make a taziki dip and a corn relish dip (can I have phyli cheese??) and kept them in my fridge is that OK?

Same goes with a potato sallad (small spuds, herbs, mayo and bacon) that I have cooked can I then keep it in the fridge and eat it for a few days?

I guess Im wondering if I make it and store it will it still be suseptable to the nasties that are in the store bough versions??

TIA

Everything you make should be OK - I always ate that type of stuff when I was pg and so long as you can maintain the temp on the trip home it will be fine. Just take an esky with you and some ice and put all your cold stuff in it. You probably don't have far to go home from the shops, but I would still use the esky and ice.

Thanks Trill.
My supermarket is a 2 min car trip from home (small country town) so I should be ok in that dept. But If I do a big shop in the bigger town then I will take my esky and ice blocks!
Mmmm might make some potato sallad and steak for tea tonight.... MMMMMmmmmm!

I don't eat anything more than 24 hours after it is made, and I would leave out the cold bacon.

I'm really wary of other people's salads, because you just don't know how long ago they were made, or how well (or even IF ) they wash anything.

But not everyone is as hysterical as me.

If you make your own mayo for potato salad you might have to use the processed one instead. Or use a different dressing.

I am! I don't eat anything that I don't eat straight after it's made. And I also don't eat anything that anyone else has prepared, yes I have gone a bit extreme in that direction. So I wouldn't eat salads unless I ate them straight after I made them, but that's me and know i'm a bit over the top but it's the only way I can stop myself from going into a panic after I eat something.
