Salads

[Paddy Eeziglow]

Very easy pasta salad:

Spaghetti (broken up)
Mayonnaise
Salted peanuts

Cook spaghetti and drain. Rinse through with cold water and shake to drain properly. Add mayonnaise and peanuts and stir well. Voila!

fresh spinach leaves, toasted nuts, toasted small pieces of bacon, goat cheese and a nice vinagreta (olive oil + modena + a little bit of honey)

I like this one lots too, except for the green pepper.

Something that really shocks me it's the tendence of you brits to put strange dressings in every salad, dressings with a very strong savour so you can't notice the flavour of the salad itself. Nothing beats a good olive oil

You then sqeeze a whole lemon, olive oil, crush a clove of garlic, parsley and a bot of tabasco over them and leave them for a while, whilst you do the tomatoes and hallumi.
