Trevor's salad

When the weather warms up, we dust off the salad recipes. This is a recent addition to the repertoire, which I first tasted at grand-daughter Lucy's 18th birthday party. Made by her Dad, Trevor, it was the perfect foil for the curry dishes served that night. Turns out it goes with everything, it's ridiculously easy to make, and doesn't need a dressing!

Ingredients
mixed lettuce leaves
 fresh tomatoes
small continental cucumber
3 or 4 spring onions
small tin crushed pineapple(in natural juice)
pepper and salt

Method 

slice the lettuce leaves (think salsa)

dice the tomatoes

slice the cucumber lengthwise in quarters, then chop

slice the spring onions (scissors are fast)

drain the pineapple

Mix all ingredients in a salad bowl, add enough pineapple juice to moisten,

season generously with salt and pepper.

(no quantities given, you can make this for 2 or 10)

Two for the price of one today - this is a salad my mother used to make, and it's still a regular feature of our Christmas lunches.

Orange and onion salad.


oranges, peeled and sliced
salad onion, finely sliced - or red onion, or spring onions
mayonnaise (some of us like the old Condensed Milk mayo with this)
Delicious with cold chicken or ham.




S'pose I'd better give you the mayo recipe too, but this is really only for lovers of condensed milk...


Condensed milk mayonnaise
1/2 tin Nestles condensed milk
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup oil
1 level tsp. mustard powder
1/2 level tsp. salt

Method
blend mustard & salt with a little vinegar, stir into condensed milk, add rest of vinegar and stir. Slowly add oil, stirring until combined and thickened.
This keeps for a long time in the fridge.
What you do with the remaining condensed milk is your affair...
