Anna Olson (Canadian I think) did a nice salad yesterday, it had sweetcorn, blueberries, and capsicum but unfortunately I cannot remember the rest but it looked delish!

It's not a coleslaw dressing but this is a yummy curry mayonaise that should work (original recipe has it mixed through a cooked chicken, grape and apple salad):
Curry Mayonaise 60g butter 1 small onion, finely chopped 3 teaspoons curry powder 1/3 cup mayonaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1/3 cup cream 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons soft brown sugar salt, to taste
Melt butter in a small pan. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes or until onion is soft. Stir in curry powder, cook 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Add mayonaise, creams, juice, sugar and salt; mix well. Gently fold through salad (coleslaw).

I add red peppers instead of Jalapeño

I find my best salads are always the ones I've just kind of made up based on what I have available - last week I used Sunrice's brown rice & quinoa and added roasted pumpkin, red onion, spinach, feta and raisins with lemon juice and EVO.

Cous cous, let it go cold, then add chopped up capsicum, red onion, fresh corn off the cob, whatever else you want. I splashed sushi rice seasoning over it - yummy!

This one is easy, popular and IMO needs to be made ahead
Alison Holst's TOMATO AND GARLIC PASTA SALAD Dressing: 1 cup (250g) bottled or canned Garlic Pasta sauce ¼-½ cup olive oil 1 tbsp wine vinegar 1 tsp each of sugar and ground cumin ½ tsp each of salt and crumbled dried oregano
Mix all the ingredients in a food processor, or shake together in a screw-topped jar.
250g tortellini, spirals or other pasta shapes 2 spring onions, white and green parts thinly sliced any or all of the following:- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley; 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced; ¼-½ unpeeled, thin-skinned cucumber, cubed; drained whole kernel corn
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, lightly salted water, with a tablespoon of added oil, then drain it thoroughly. Take care not to under-cook or over-cook the pasta. Stir about three-quarters of the dressing gently into the hot, drained pasta and leave to stand for at least 15 minutes (“I find it convenient to put the pasta and dressing in an unpunctured oven bag to mix and store it.” – A. Holst) Refrigerate the salad until required for serving, then just before serving stir in the spring onions and any of the optional extra parsley and vegetables. Add a little of the remaining dressing if the salad needs it. :-))

Orzo Beetroot Feta salad Looks pretty and can be prepared ahead, google for recipes but basically: 3/4 - 1 cup dried orzo (risoni) cooked Beetroot - 2-3 parboiled, peeled and roasted 20-30mins OR canned baby beetroot chopped in halves or quarters Almonds or walnuts - toasted in pan Celery - sliced or diced Parsley - chopped Feta - crumbled in later
I put some lemon zest in too. Make a dressing with balsamic, olive oil, a teaspoon or two of wholegrain mustard, a clove of crushed garlic, bit of lemon juice if you wish and a little brown sugar to taste. Toss dressing in to warm cooked pasta. Add veges, toss gently (pasta turns pink), stir in feta, nuts, parsley and lemon zest. Can use pumpkin if you don't like beetroot.

This is our favourite, you will need streaky bacon,avocado, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach leaves or a good mesclun mix, feta cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt and olive oil Fry the streaky bacon until it is crisp cut the avocado into small cubes and squeeze lemon juice over them halve the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle salt over them cut the feta cheese into small cubes rub the inside of a salad bowl with cut garlic, then crush the garlic and put it in a small container with the olive oil Just before you want to serve put the salad leaves into the salad bowl and add the avocado, tomatoes and feta cheese, then add the olive oil (but not the garlic) and toss. Crush into small pieces and sprinkle the crispy bacon over the top.
