Beets have been gaining more recognition in recent years in Iceland.
Chicken Salad with A Curried Mango Dressing
This is a light salad perfect for the summer picnic at the park (at least if you don't live in Iceland where you are guaranteed that something will blow away from your setting and you will be freez
Salads
I could not live without my salads. Sometimes I get a craving so bad I have to rush to the supermarket and buy the ingredients for a salad I have been dreaming about.
Lunchbox Salad
I often make a large salad as a side dish to a dinner and pack the rest for my lunch the next day.
Soba Noodle Salad with Wakame, Ginger and Vegetables
I made this salad immediately after arrived home from a trip to Japan.
Tanzanian Sambaro Carrots
These carrots I often call "carrots with a twist" and I love them served as a side dish of African or Indian food.
Other
Here you may find salads that are not necessarily side salads, green salads or any typical salads. They still taste good though!
Aduki Bean Sprouts
There are some tools available that are supposed to make your sprouting easier, however I have had fantastic results with just a glass jar and water.
Chickpea Sprouts
I adore bean sprouts. They are so versatile and delicious. I often eat them as a snack, put them on my sandwich, in a salad or as a side dish with radishes, raisins and oranges.
Coconut and Banana Salad
My sister in law, Elin (who has travelled extensively through Africa along with my brother) often makes this accompaniment and serves with Indian or African food.
East African Fruit Salad
In every upmarket hotel/lodge I have stayed in when travelling in East Africa (and they are many) a fresh fruit salad is served at the end of a meal.
Mung Bean Sprouts
I love bean sprouts. They are so healthy and versatile. I often eat them on their own like a snack or I use them in salads, on sandwiches and even in casseroles.
Pineapple and Passion Fruit with Toasted Coconut Flakes

Shrimp Salad
This is a classic, Icelandic salad, served with bread, on crackers, as sandwich fillings and often when there is a gathering of people such as for birthdays.
Tuna Salad
When preparing my husband's lunch I am always trying to maintain a balance of complex carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats.
Salad Dressings
I would rather buy paint and drink it than buy salad dressing from the supermarket.
Apple and Tamari Dressing
This is a lovely, fat free salad dressing which can also be served with nut patties, burgers, grilled vegetables and more.
Avocado and Cantaloupe Salad with Lemon Grass Dressing
I love this salad, especially in the summertime. Cantaloupes are packed with Beta Carotene (which are converted into vitamin A in our bodies) and vitamin C and are very good for our eyes.
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise which you can buy from your local supermarket is usually absolutely packed with additives and bad stuff.
Mustard Sauce
I use mustard sauce with everything, on my salad, my sandwich, on nut patties, with fish, with grilled vegetables, as a dip for raw vegetables...you name it.

Green Salads
I think it is extremely important to include green salads with meals (as many as possible).

This is the perfect late summer salad. It has vibrant colours and a slightly sweet taste with a peppery kick. I adore beets (beetroots), especially baked as it brings out their subtle sweetness.
