8 Creative Salads
Summer’s almost over but I’m still looking for some salads I can add to my daily routine, I especially want to try the dragon fruit and potato salad below because I’ve never had such combination of ingredients. If there are any salads you’ve seen or tasted that are noteworthy don’t hesitate to provide a link. Here are some of my favorites.
#1: Dragonfruit salad. Never had dragonfruit salad before and this makes me want to try some. Avocado, chickpeas, and sprouts..can’t be bad.

#2: Potato Salad. This salad looks so simple and normal but I like how they used whole potatoes instead of creating a mash up. The pesto they used is made of Cilantro and almond paste and I love Cilantro.

#3: Vertical pear salad. Another delicious sounding recipe (walnut, bleu cheese, arugula, and honey) and it looks very doable. I’ve had this combination of ingredients before they are made for eachother but I especially like the presentation. Love how it’s stacked, it might even be better after 20 minutes in the oven.

#4 Cobb Salad. Yes this has to be mostly made of avocado but that only makes it better. Source.

#5: Rubix Cube Fruit salad. Watermelon, Kiwi, and cheese blocks (not sure which cheese, maybe feta)..posted this more for it’s cheeky presentation. Source.

#6 Apple salad. Slices of thinly shaved apples with grilled zucchini. This website has some nice photography and salad ideas, be sure to check it esp if you’re vegetarian.

#7 Savory ice cream cone salad: I’m not so sure what’s in here, it looks like mozzarella cheese with baby tomatoes in a savory black sesame cone, but I like the idea. Found this on another website but the original source is here, also not so sure you’ll spend so much time on this site as it is a wedding photo blog. Source.

#8 Not really a salad but, I love how they serve it and the photo. More beautiful photos from this blog about their meal at Alinea. Apparently you’re allowed to eat it just not the dirt. They must give you scissors though right?



On that “Alinea” blog post you linked to, there’s a picture of the little scissors they used to cut the “salad” from the centerpiece…
These photos belong to an exhibition
Make one with your food dear, people would love them!
I loved the ‘jengha tower’ one!
xoxoxo
Oh my they look divine!!!! Thank You for Sharing!
Great selection! Love the vertical pear one, so original!
That cube fruit salad is incredible. I’m going to have to try that one out…
I don’t have a link because I came up with it myself, but I love making salad with avocado, cucumber, plum tomatoes, red onions and crumbled feta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (by ‘came up with it myself’ I just mean I didn’t see it on any particular website but probably got the idea from someone else and am not trying to claim it as my own creation). I don’t know if it’s necessarily ‘creative’ but it’s at least a departure from normal leafy salads and it’s delicious, and that’s all that should matter, really.
Brilliantly creative! They all look so wonderful.
I think the top one has macadamia nuts. Just got some in the mail today from mum. God they are good. I think you’ve converted me to saladivorism.
These all look so delicious!!!!
Wow, all of these look gorgeous.. now I’m curious about trying out the dragonfruit salad myself! Yum
Great fantastic list. I just know that they will all be soooooo good and delish.
the rubix cube salad looks doable.

Have been using cilantro/almond pesto with my pasta dishes for a while now. Tastes wonderful.
Thanks for sharing the links.
amazingly beautiful. I don’t think I’d be able to eat it after making it.
the potted soil salad with globs of ranch would be funny
try onion, orange and olive salad
water onions, use black olives, add a little salt and pepper and dribble olive oil over it. genius combination!
Def gonna show this to the chef of the restaurant I work at, this looks awesome!
Fell in love with the dragonfruit salad…
XO, Imke
i made one of the most delicious salad last fall and can not wait for this season to bear persimmons again. everything about it is just so fall–the persimmon, warmth and buttery-ness of pecans, the browned butter and cogac vinaigrette is also to die for.
