Salad

Crispy fried potatoes, ham, tomatoes and feta salad

Roasti, ham, tomatoes and feta salad
Rösti (Swiss-style fried grated potatoes) serves as the base and carb component of a salad. No tossing is required. Simply top the rosti with tomatoes, feta and smoky ham, drizzle in vinaigrette (or serve on the side), garnish with parsley and you have a tasty and filling meal.

Salted quail eggs and vegetable salad

Salted quail eggs and vegetable salad
For ovo-vegetarians, a bowl of this salad is substantial enough for a filling meal. For omnivores, enjoy it as a side dish to go with grilled or fried meat or fish. We had the salted quail eggs and vegetables salad with fried tilapia and talakitok (trevally) steaks.

Bacon macaroni salad

Bacon macaroni salad
I love macaroni salad especially when it has so much in it — celery, carrot, pickle relish, crushed pineapple, meat, cheese… I have to admit though that there are times when I want more — more color, more texture and more flavor. Bacon is the answer.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 people
