Salad Cookbooks and Recipes
Salad is cold food, usually based around vegetables or fruits. A dressing (a sauce),
croutons (cooked crispy lumps of bread), or nuts are often added. Many salads also
include
cheese,
fish, meat, pasta or
rice.
Some popular salads include:
- Caesar salad - Caesar salad was first created by the Mexican-Italian chef, Caesar Cardini.
It is based on lettuce, and croutons, with a dressing of
parmesan cheese, lemon juice, egg,
Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. The original recipe used raw egg, but this is
nowadays often omitted or substituted, because of concerns over salmonella.
Additionally, modern recipes often
add anchovies, breast of chicken, or capers.
- Greek salad - This is a salad based on those found
in Greek cuisine and Cypriot cuisine
(where it is known as
"country salad"
or
"village salad").
It contains tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, and bell peppers, is seasoned
with olive oil, red vinegar, black pepper, oregano, and salt, and
often also contains feta cheese, capers, and olives.
- Israeli salad (known in
Israel as
"salat aravi") - A salad based on finely chopped
tomatoes and cucumbers, often with parsley, and seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil.
- Poke - This is a salad from Hawaiian cuisine.
It is made from cubes of raw fish, tobiko (flying fished roe),
seaweed, and tofu,
with assorted vegetables such as onions, scallions and tomatoes.
The salad is flavored with chiles or red pepper, salt,
sesame oil, and
soy sauce.
- Waldorf salad - A salad of apple, celery and walnuts in a mayonnaise dressing.
The dish is named after the Waldorf Hotel in
New York city,
where the salad was first created during the late 19th century.
