Colourful Salad

Finally the winter is coming to an end and the spring is just around the corner.
In the spirit of various traditions which celebrate that we decided to make a salad with lots of colours.

So we had:
- red beetroots
- green cucumber
- yellow paprika
- orange carrots
- white parsnip
- and the blue bowl, of course :)

For the dressing we used: olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.

Happy Holi to our Indian friends! Happy Easter to the Westerners! And happy beginning of the spring to all!

1980s Retro-Style German "Mexican" Party Salad

Oh, the parties of the 80s ... who could bear to relive them. As an act of compassion, we altered the memory of them a little. Wasn't that part of it, anyway?

canned sweet corn
olive oil (did we know there was something other than sunflower oil then? not sure.)
lemon juice (that would have been the exotic zaz)
onion
paprika (aka capsicum - would likely have been green then, but is red and yellow in this case)
carrots
some black olives

some added feta is nice to make this less vegan (did we know the word vegan back then?)
also, some parsley would have been good.
kidney beans, naturally are also missing in this one ....
