I take it you will be happy to have sugar in your salads.
If so why not visit the Fridge Salads and More Tomatoes and Cucumbers threads.
Otherwise just do a search there are hundreds of threads with 'Salad' in the title.

I make up a 'basic' salad with whatever is in my fridge or garden (capsicum, spring onion, tomatoes, cucumber etc) with a dijon mustard dressing. Olive oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar mixed together is very nice too. Not fancy, but always very nice.

Hot chicken Salad with Balsemic/Ginger gravy
Use your lightly salted vege water to make this gravy and use on a hot vege salad. I usually use Kumera, Red capsicums and Beans. To your vege water add finely diced FRESH ginger, (start with a thumbnails worth for gravy for two).I also like to add a bit of Massel chicken and vege dried stocks. (In the Gluten Free aisle). Simmer for 5 mins then add a dash of balsamic vinegar ½ a dash of light soya sauce and finely chopped fresh herbs, (I use coriander and basil) thicken with corn-flour and water. Make sure you use a larger than normal jug for the gravy. Everyone comes back for more. Goes great with either chicken or pork. So I usually stack the veges on a plate, the lay the thickly sliced grilled chicken breast over it and POUR on the gravy. lol gingerlime

Finely chopped silverbeet or spinach, red onion sliced, sun blush toms chopped and feta, you can add peppers if liked-no dressing as the oil from toms and feta create the dressing. Really yummy

I always add 1 of or a few of these and its always a winner to lettuce salads:) sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts of your choice, chopped dried fruit of your choice. Then Don't forget your radishes, celery, silverbeet and fresh herbs!!

What is a "small cup" of sugar? Our cups in NZ are 250ml usually.

An old New Zealand term from pre-1950s cookery books, when recipes had measurements in teacups (small) and breakfast cups (large).Picture a dainty porcelain teacup and you have 'small'.

Revved up Coleslaw...
I buy the coleslaw at the deli in the supermarket and get them to drain it as I don't like all the water that comes with it (also makes it cheaper as not weighing and paying for all that liquid that just goes down the drain!!).When I get it home, I drain it again, put into a large bowl and add chopped granny smith apples, chopped red onion, dried cranberries, cashews or pinenuts and a generous amount of chopped bacon that has been fried until crispy.This is so yummy and reasonably healthy, gets lots of comments when you share it with friends and makes a quick easy dinner on "can't be bothered" nights.Enjoy!!

I make mine with lettuce, sometimes with silverbeet tomato, red and spring onion, cheese, capsicum, avocado, raw mushrooms, apple, egg, sprouts, mung beans, Nuts and Seeds, I fry up some thinly sliced bacon in a bit of butter n make croutons by toasting 2 bits of bread then buttering them and sprinkle chicken stock on them. Cut into crouton size pieces then throw in with bacon till crunchy. For a dressing if I have one I just the 1can of condensed milk 1/2 cup of vinegar and mustard to taste. NOM NOM love my salads :o)
you can add carrot, celery, snow peas, cabbage, corn, peas, radish, broccoli, cauliflower,asparagus, cucumber, raisins, Chicken, fish, meat, tofu, different cheeses, grapes, you can pretty much put anything in to try it :o)
