[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago (3 children) A fancy salad. I did not know such things existed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) Fancy salad is very similar to a normal everyday salad but with pomegranite seeds and possibly some sort of fancy cheese. Or I might be out of date and there is a new definition of fancy this year. If you go back in time you will find a fancy salad involves jelly. Hopefully this is one trend that will never repeat. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bull@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago I imagined a Caesar with a little Top Hat on it and thanks to AI we can make this come to life! permalink fedilink source parent [–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's funny because I was thinking if you want a pretty salad you just add pomegranate seeds but they're not in season. Couldn't think of anything else that would make it fancy. Haha. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think the trend before pomegranate seeds was flowers on top, probably with a large amount of rocket. If you can't get pomegranate you could probably do something like pear and blue cheese. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) That is fancy. What about segmented orange? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Orange can be fancy, but you need to make sure each segment is peeled with no white bits. Which is either incredibly fiddly or requires a soak in a pectin disolving enzyme. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I have done this before and it can get quite messy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago I bottled a lot last year, after using the enzyme to peel them. They worked really well & I can now add them to salads whenever the mood strikes me. I don't think I'd want to go to the effort of peeling. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) A fancy salad is a normal salad in a nice bowl, and maybe with some luxe crunchy bits permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago Oh. Like pine nuts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago My cousin sent me recipes of pear and walnut type things and honestly even that is too much for me. I don't even eat basic tomato and lettuce salad. I eat lots of veg, just can't be bothered making salads... I can't "think salad". This is too hard. I'm going to change tack and suggest some top notch broccolini or green beans with a tasteful sprinkling of garlic infused olive oil and sumac and stuff like that. Maybe my aunt's excellent julienned-cabbage stir fry that makes a great side even if it's cold. permalink fedilink source parent
