My Five Cheap Salad Recipes!
Combining starchy foods and raw vegetables, these recipes should give you ideas for light and economical salads, which allow balanced and delicious meals!
The sun shyly reappears, and, with it, the cravings for salads of all kinds.
At home, or especially at lunchtime at the office, I love making fresh and original salads.
The following five recipes have the added advantage of being really economical since they are all made from products that we tend to have leftovers.
Whether you cooked pasta, rice or lentils the day before, you can make delicious salads!
I'll give you the recipes for one person, with the idea that it's for a meal at work, but of course you can adapt them to suit your needs!
1. Lentil and sausage salad
Mix the cooked lentils with half a shallot and a Strasbourg sausage. Season and serve very fresh.
2. Rice salad with tuna
Add half a can of tuna in brine to your rice. Dice a tomato and mix with the rice and tuna. Season with a light vinaigrette and add a few black olives.
3. Corn and surimi salad
Cut three surimi sticks from a can of corn. Add the flesh of a diced avocado. Season with salt and pepper and serve chilled.
4. Tomato, mozzarella and raw ham salad
Cut two tomatoes into cubes. Add a slice of raw ham in strips and diced mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper.
5. Potato and ham salad
Cut two steamed potatoes into slices. Add slices of ham, three pickles cut into small pieces and a very mustard vinaigrette.

Savings made
In the cafet 'at the foot of my desk, all the large salad plates are sold between 6 and 9.50 euros… An aberration when you see the price of the basic ingredients!
These easy recipes won't cost you more than 2 euros, especially if you use seasonal vegetables (and you should even have some left over for an extra meal!) And in addition, these house salads have the advantage of not being bathed in the vinaigrette sauce too fatty!
