Holidays are about being home all day, but being home all day, usually leads to eating lots of food.

I am always biting and bobbing when I am off work, mostly on the wrong kinds of food too. 

Having a salad jar already to eat is a great idea for you to snack on healthier foods or whip up a nice quick and easy warm salad.

I just loved having a chopped-up salad in the fridge waiting to be eaten, or having something quick to cook up for when I get the munchies or just get bored and need something to do.

Firstly, Chicken Shashlik Salad.

Do you need a good and tasty salad recipe? What would be good for lunch? Why not give this Chicken Shashlik Salad a try?

This Greek-inspired recipe is great for grilling or barbecuing because it appeals to a wide audience.

This recipe will take you to the Mediterranean with its tasty, succulent chicken pieces and fresh ingredients like butterhead lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and avocado.

For 20 minutes, chicken and shallots were marinated in a sauce of oil, honey, cumin, and garlic then barbecued afterward.

Served with a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and cucumbers with a lemon dressing. Very nice. Chicken Shashlik Salad.

Thirdly, Superfood Christmas Salad.

Walnuts have long been considered synonymous with the festive season.

Often enjoyed freshly cracked open with a nutcracker, or more commonly bought already shelled, walnuts are used in a variety of sweet and savoury seasonal dishes – or simply enjoyed on their own!

The unique taste and texture of walnuts makes them a supremely versatile ingredient and means they can do so much when it comes to Christmas cooking.

Incorporating them into seasonal starters, sharers, mains and desserts will add crunch, sweetness, colour, texture and more. Superfood Christmas Salad.

Fourthly, Jewelled Roast Turkey & Couscous Salad. 

From a Clementine Marinated Prawn Cocktail that serves as the perfect Christmas dinner starter to a Jewelled Roast Turkey & Couscous Salad, which is ideal for using up leftovers, each recipe is low sodium but still full of flavour.

LoSalt has 66% less sodium than regular table, sea, or rock salt, and can be used exactly the same way as normal salt, whether cooking, baking, or seasoning with it. Jewelled Roast Turkey & Couscous Salad.

Fifth, Slurpy Salad.

Every day for a week after New Years Day!? Slurpy Salad how much fun is this salad? Making kids meal look a bit more exciting can help picky eaters tuck into new foods.

Whilst it might be a bit much to create a cartoon scene for every meal, maybe spirals and ribbons will do the trick. Slurpy Salad.

Love a nice salad with a glass of white wine, too.
