Since the Holiday season is fast approaching, i decided to rummage through my kitchen cabinet for leftover food items i had in store before going for my usual shopping and i came across some canned food items i could use to put together a quick salad for a quick lunch. Here’s why i love salads; It’s healthy, mouthwatering and easy to make. did i also mention that it goes with just about any meal i.e jollof rice, fried rice, coconut rice, and a host of others. When making mine, i combine a host of things; sweet corn, green peas, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce,carrots, eggs and YES macaroni with a drizzle of salad dressing. Just imagine having a bowl of this tasty salad on a hot day…..can you taste it? :D. We love it really chilled, but it’s also great when it’s warm too.

Cool but I haven't tried the one with tomatoes.
Add sugar to this or sprite and your taste for salad would never remain the same again………Magnifico!!!!
Still trying to figure out if I'm more of a vegetarian 'cause I prefer salad to anything. Thanks for this. My issue is getting that perfect cream. I wish it could taste like the ones from these fast foods..
Miss dobby i guess chopped carrot in salad are refered to as 'english salad "but either ways it can be chopped and parboiled or finely grated…
Sprite keh ….
I thought I was the only one that had the problem of cream. The salads I eat at fast food and parties taste better than the ones I make at home. I have tried adding sugar to the cream and still no dice. I have tried mayonnaise of different brands and salad cream but still i'm not yet satisfied with the outcome. Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks.
Nice. Fast to make, faster to eat. Madam Dobby I'm still waiting for your cooking school o. Whenever it comes out. *wink*
it's not only sprite. Coke and fanta nko? Yimu
U can say that again – really faster to eat…….
I've heard of that sugar stuff, and I think that's why some salads taste so sweet when I eat out
I'm definitely trying this
Fast food joints mix their mayonnaise with sprite. Dats what gives it the sweet taste.
i guess you can add fruits to it (the sweet fruits used for baking) that way you'll get the sweet taste.
To get that fast food salad taste, Mix sugar and sprite or sugar and liquid milk then add to ur salad cream or mayonnaise.
Entry 14 has a net plate and presentation matters a lot
It just have to be linanuel agbai
Salads can be really tasty. All that lettuce topped with your favorite dressing and sprinkled with other toppings is enough to make your mouth water.
