All Year Round Salad - Dairy Free - Gluten Free

My daughter, has just had to spend 36 hours in hospital, in Isolation
She is currently on a dairy free, wheat free diary to sort out some allergy problems

The hospital food which is actually satisfactory, for normal diets
Didn't work well for her
So, Meals on wheels went into action
Even did the delivery, via the bus, en route to lunch
All on the taxpayer
Oh the taxpayer didn't pay for the food, so a bonus for the taxpayer ha ha
I made 2 different salads
First
Originally using what I had in the fridge
I devised a salad which I would repeat again and again
The sweetness of the melon with the peppery flavour of the salami
A match must have been made in heaven methinks
So so popular with the patient

This is the amounts I used for 1 patient
1 med Grated carrot
1/2 Red pepper chopped
1/2 yellow pepper chopped
The green part of the spring onion
1/4 peeled and chopped rock melon
4 slices of. Pepperoni salami  sliced
2-3 tabs French dressing

Throw all these ingredients into a container
Toss well


1/2 cup lightly toasted and salted cashews
Add the cashews on the top
Mix them in just before eating to keep them crisp

And then a simple Potato Salad
1 large potato peeled, chopped and cooked in boiling salted water till just tender
1 tbs French dressing
2 hard boiled eggs
Peeled and chopped roughly
2 gherkins
1 spring onion chopped
2 tbs Mayonnaise


When the potatoes are cooked
Drain, toss with the French dressing
Cool

Put the Mayo in a bowl
Add the gherkins, spring onions and egg
Toss around lightly

When the potatoes are cool, add to the bowl
Mix well gently
Taste, add salt and pepper if needed

By the way
Patient now discharged and germ free
