About Food & Drink: Not-So-Boring Salads

If you can't see this email, click here

Food & Drink From Amanda Wills, your About Food & Drink Editor To keep my girlish figure extra girly for summer, I commit to eating only salads for lunch. But sometimes creativity is lost on me when it comes to jazzing up the greens. Luckily, my search for a not-so-boring salad yielded surprisingly delicious results. Corn Avocado Salad This salad is great because of its versatility: It can be served on a bed of greens, or as a salsa. The texture of this dish is also nice, with crunchy corn and creamy avocado, and the hint of spice really is the cherry on top. Ole! Zucchini Mint Salad See More About:  sweet corn  corn  salads Korean Soba Salad Let's take our taste buds East for a salad known in Korea as "Jaengban Gooksu." You can add chicken, beef, or pork for a hearty dish and seasonal vegetables for a fresh and light meal. Fattoush Salad Crunchy Kohlrabi Salad As our Dutch Food Guide points out, kohlrabi is one of those forgotten vegetables. But it's time to rediscover it with this satisfying salad that is packed with hazelnuts, ham, celery and crumbled chevre. Redcurrant and Feta Salad See More About:  dutch cheese  kohlrabi recipes  watercress recipes Red Grapefruit, Avocado and Fennel Salad For me, nothing says summer like refreshing grapefruit. Plus, the fiber is great for your waist. Throw in some tangy fennel, and you've got a whole new party on the plate.
