FRIDGE SALADS

Any nice recipes for the salads, made in quantity and keptin a jar in the fridge for about a month - usually with a vinegar base - please

you want to keep a salad in a jar for about a month?

Well, maybe a couple of weeks - there is a bean salad and also a cabbage one I believe

oh true a bean salad.. never thought of that.. hmmmmm

I assume the OP perhaps means salad dressings as they ask for ones with a vinegar base.

No no, not the dressings but the actual salads - I have now found a marinated carrot salad (says will keep a few weeks), a coleslaw type one and also a bean salad.Anyone else any recipes - it is for when family comes to visit and we are out a lot - handy to have a few salads 'ready'.....

try this one!
cut up 6 Zucchini and 2 large onions and a red pepper or two
sprinkle with couple tabs salt and cover with water and stand 3-4hours then drain.
cook up a 18oz bag of small pasta till just done and drain.
Add with the drained veges to a large pan.
Add 4 cups sugar
4cups white vinegar, 1tspn celery seed and 1 tspn tumeric and 1 tspn of mustard. Bring to boil, stir to dissolve sugar and remove pan from heat. can stir through can of kidney beans if like.
place into jars(clean, heated in oven)lid, and allow to cool. store in the fridge for up to 6 weeks!very handy and very tasty!!

Well you learn something new every day!I had no idea any salads would last that long.

Me neither - I suppose lots of sugar and vinegar and you could keep anything.

I guess they are so vilely awful, that they need to last in the fridge for a month because no one will actually eat them.

Good tasting food will be gone in hours.

What would you eat such a 'salad' with anyway - bread or ice cream?

That has to be a typo surely?

Not sure about a typo prawn_whiskas - fisher just posted a recipe called "Marge’s Curried Cucumber Pickle" which has 6 medium cucumbers, 3 ¼ cups white vinegar, 3 onions, 2 cups sugar, 3 red peppers .... and some more stuff ...

Seems that a lot of people think of salads or pickles as sweets nowadays?

14 day coleslaw.

i lge finely shredded cabbage
2 grated carrots
1 lge finely diced/chopped onion
finely sliced celery - 3-4 stalks

Dressing:
1 & 1/4 cups of white vinegar
1/2 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 & 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 & 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes
Cool & poor over coleslaw. keeps for 14 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
A firend who lives alone says it keeps and tastes just as good at 1 mnth.

It is a very yummy slaw.
I also had trouble finding celery seeds, so substituted the seeds and salt with celery salt successfully.

I wonder if they think they are eating healthy as it's vegetables? LOL
