| 4 | Don't know about gourmet but how about roast pear Salad with Walnuts & Gruyere or Blue cheese? This recipe here is pretty straight forward and you can adapt it to suit: Tonight I made a Salad out of roughly torn spinach leaves (you could use the baby variety), orange segments, Strawberries, finely sliced onion rings and Emmenthal Cheese. The dressing was made from raspberries, Apple cider vinegar, Olive oil & Salt & Pepper. I also added fresh chives and parsley. You could also make a really nice Greek or Caesar Salad using only the best ingredients to up the ante sort of speak. Those are just off the top of my head but might give you some ideas.

| 7 | I was at a do last week where a lady brought a kumara and banana salad. It was yummy, but unfortunately she left before I could beg the recipe off her. The dressing had hints of coconut and curry. kiwifidget - 2011-01-03 22:31:00 |

I've made that = slice the bananas thickly - coat in lemon juice. Make a curry mayonaise - butter in pan, add curry and stir to heat, remove from heat then stir in some good store brought mayonnaise. Pour this over cooked kumara and banana peices. I don't use coconut but if you particularly want this, you could add some coconut to the dressing or perhaps use some coconut milk to thin it down. gardie - 2011-01-04 06:38:00 |
| 9 | Toadfishes Brown Rice Salad 1 cup brown rice Cook the rice in the water & when cooked & still hot add the soya sauce and finely chopped onions let cool (a couple of hours preferably overnight) Add the following ~ Dressing: Mix and pour over salad. Mix well. If you are having lots of other salads I would triple this recipe for 50 people. I recently catered for 40. We had We had far too much left over.... Depends on the "type" of people attending... big eaters vesus sparrows. What I found useful was I had to take the salads to a venue so I brought a box of large snaplock bags and put the salads in those and they stacked flat in the chilly bin... then when ready to serve, just tipped them out on the platters.

This recipe is the bomb, even better the day after and then the day after that so can be made in advance. I also find the kumera, bacon and orange salad better the next day as well. liamjosh - 2011-01-04 14:57:00 |
| 13 | Anyone got the orange and kumara recipe? meadze1 - 2011-01-05 10:36:00 |
| 14 | I went to a bbq years ago and someone brought the following kumera salad. I have made it countless times since and people always comment on it and come back for more: A couple of kumera - peeled, chopped into smaller pieces, boiled, cooled, cubed. Great made the day before and just increase for larger numbers, it sounds weird but tastes great and - so easy! Edited by bunny12 at 10:57 am, Wed 5 Jan bunny12 - 2011-01-05 10:54:00 |

| 17 | a type of orzo /risoni salad they go along way as well trader125 - 2011-01-05 15:59:00 |
| 18 | Couscous salad is really good for preparing ahead of time, fresh flavour w chopped herbs, lemon and pinenuts. fluffybunny2 - 2011-01-06 00:52:00 |
| 19 | watermelon and cucumber salad is another good one kiwibubbles - 2011-01-06 08:28:00 |
| 20 | Grated carrot salad with shredded coconut and sultanas, with a balsamic/oil dressing. Get a helper to grate the carrots for you. It goes a long way and is quite economical. goldengirl7 - 2011-01-06 08:49:00 |
| 21 | I used to make the Kumera and Orange salad, 500gm pre boiled kumera chopped with thin orange slices of one orange(cut crosswise and skin still on) and half an onion cut into thin slices. About 1/4c fresh chopped parsely. Ground black pepper. Now the dressing was Oil and Vinegar, cut remember exactly what measurements. Egg salad always goes down well and so easy. I usually use 1doz eggs(family 5, but always some left over) 2-3 finely chopped celery sticks. tub of sour cream and enough mayo until it is at the consistancy you like it. I mix in enough curry powder to my liking with a few tablespons mayo then mix through salad, better made at least 5-6 hours before you need it. And you can't beat a good pasta salad, there are so many variations. naki45 - 2011-01-06 09:05:00 |

Used to do a similar type salad, when I was cooking in a bistro. It was grated carrot, grated cheese, sultanas and french dressing to mix. Sometimes I would add a little finely chopped red onion if I was making it just for us. Quite a nice little salad as an extra to a big green salad. naki45 - 2011-01-06 09:07:00 |

| 36 | I see this has a start date of January... So I assume it has been bumped for some one... If you are looking for easy ( which when you are cooking for 50 is always a good thing)... One of my easiest salad is: Drain and wash the tins of beans, mix other ingredients, dress with a balsamic and oil dreessing... Of course, make a larger quanity for fifty people duckmoon - 2011-12-09 16:06:00 |

| 46 | Walnut chicken and apple salad. We had this last night, so yummy. Cooked barbecue or similar chicken from the supermarket. Put the chopped apples into the lemon juice add half the nuts, chopped herbs and tomatoes. Make the dressing: 1/4 cup of sour cream, 1/4 mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp of curry powder, juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1 tbsp apricot jam. Add the dressing to the other ingredients carefully, add the lettuce carefully, top with the rest of the nuts. jhan - 2014-12-15 06:32:00 |
