Roasted Asparagus Salad with Chevre & Honey
This yummy recipe from 'Spitsuurkoken' is ideal for spring, when asparagus is at its best. The combination with creamy goat's cheese, pine nuts and honey really works.

Fattoush
The refreshing combination of cucumber, tomatoes, scallions, herbs and sumac-encrusted fried flatbread is a winner. No wonder this is a favorite in Eastern Mediterranean countries like Syria, Lebanon and Turkey. The Netherlands has a large Turkish immigrant community and this superb summer salad is a great introduction to their cuisine.

Smoked Mackerel Salad (Gerookte Makreelsalade)
This recipe, taken from 'Kookboek voor Meisjes van 8 tot 88' (Cookbook for Girls from 8 to 88) is like cross between a Caesar salad and a Nicoise salad, but with a Dutch twist: smoked mackerel. Delicious!

Coleslaw (Koolsla)
Coleslaw is a typical barbeque standby and fantastic served with steaks, burgers or hot dogs. Kids love it, so it's a great way to get them to eat their veggies. This nutritious salad is nothing like the gloopy stuff many people think of at the mention of the word 'coleslaw'.

Crunchy Kohlrabi Salad
Kohlrabi is one of those root vegetables that flummoxes people. After all, it's a rather odd, green bulbous thing, with weird shoots sprouting from the top. I think most people simply don't know what to do with it. I love kohlrabi’s subtle cabbage taste and crisp bite and I think it’s perfect for salads, like my Crunchy Kohlrabi Salad.

House of Orange Salad
My House of Orange Salad uses the unusual combination of oranges and fennel. A dish fit for a queen.

Redcurrant & Feta Salad
This fusion salad delivers hot, sour, salty and sweet flavors to your tongue. Against a backdrop of peppery arugula, the tart taste of Northern European redcurrants, and salty feta and briny black olives from the Mediterranean is tempered by an Asian-ish dressing of sweet ginger syrup, lime and spicy chile oil.

Taboulleh (Moroccan Bulghur Wheat Salad)
This salad, featuring bulghur (that delicious and healthy cracked wheat), tomatoes, scallions, mint, parsley and feta cheese is a welcome addition to any table. I often make a meal of it, but it works just as well as a side dish at a summer barbeque or alongside some lamb chops rubbed with Ras El Hanout, my favourite Moroccan spice rub.
