cook up some coloured pasta spirals, cool, add 1 jar of Kanton or plain brand, sweet/sour, add 1/2 tin drained pinapple, crushed or peices, a chopped up red onion, and decorate with parsley on top. refridge for a few hours first.

peel and grate some beetroot (raw), some honey and mustard dressing, you could add some onion. quick and tasty, and colourful. grate carrot add some sultanas and mint sauce, golden kumera with red capsicum an orange and use a mayo and sour cream dressing. slice tomato and a telegraph cucumber (peel some strips off and run a fork down the sides), then layer these up into a tower.

roast a whole load of root vege pumpkin, in cube size, include capsicum, onion, garlic, brocolli, cauli, mushroom, and either use a mayonaisse or a french dressing and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.

orange & onion salad, we just love this. slice a medium onion- (red is the nicest), but any will do, sliced across into rings- not too thick, then peel an orange, & slice across into rings, put both into a jar/basin, & pour over the following dressing which is-- in a cup put 1 teaspoon of salt, then make it up to 1/4 cup with sugar, then make it up to 1/2 cup with boiling water, stir until sugaris dissolved, then fill to top with vinegar,pour over the Orange& Onion & enjoy. If making larger ammounts just double the ammount of dressing,etc.

Beetroot Salad.1 packet of boysenberry jelly, 1 can of diced beetroot, 3 tblspns of white wine vinegar (i only had red wine vinegar and turned out OK).Put jelly in bowl and pour over 3/4 cup of hot water to dissolve.Add the drained juice of can to this and vinegar and pour over the beetroot.Give a stir and put in fridge to set.I have made this at 3 in the afternoon and its been ready for dinner but probably better made earlier.Really yummy and looks good and christmassy.

That is devine! Please can you tell me what dressing you use? I tried it at a function and want to make it at home but unsure of what dressing to use. Thanks

I don't use a dressing.I finely chop a red onion and soak it in the juice of a lime (have used lemon) for about 30min.Drain and add to salad. Drizzle with a little oil.Some times add black olives.
If serving for guests, I put the salad onto a platter of baby spinach leaves for nice contrast of colours.
Think this is actually a Nigella recipe.
