Refreshing Salad (Insalaaddo) Salade Rafraîchissante سلطة منعشة

 

This cool, refreshing salad says summer to us but it is great all year round. The refreshing feeling comes from the moisture-laden cucumbers and tomatoes, and the mild onion flavour from the green onions.  The salad also has a wonderful texture with different levels of crunchiness ranging from the slight resistance offered by the firm tomatoes, to the more crunchy cucumber, and finally the crunchy carrot with its sweet, earthy flavour. The lemon juice and parsley add a great balance to the salad and brighten its flavours.

We found that it is a good choice for those who normally would not eat salads that have salad greens. To make it an even more un-salad salad, we sometimes add diced pears or apples or both. We also add diced watermelon if we buy a watermelon and find out that it is not sweet enough to eat.

Cette salade rafraîchissante évoque l’été pour nous mais elle est parfaite tout au long de l’année. Son effet rafraîchissant vient des tomates et des concombres gorgés d’eau, et de la saveur délicate des oignons nouveaux. La salade a aussi une texture fantastique avec plusieurs niveaux de croquant allant de la résistance faible offerte par les tomates fermes, au concombre plus croquant, puis finalement la carotte très croquante avec sa saveur douce et terreuse. Le jus de citron et le persil apportent son équilibre à la salade et relève ses saveurs.

Nous avons trouvé qu’il s’agissait d’un bon choix pour ceux qui ne mangent pas de salades qui contiennent de la verdure. Pour en faire encore plus une salade sans salade, nous ajoutons parfois des dés de poire ou de pommes ou les deux. Nous ajoutons aussi des dés de pastèque si celle que nous venons d’acheter n’est pas assez sucrée.

    Asallamu Aleykum my brother and sister A&L,

    I used to look for tasty salad, and this dish looks amazing. I thank you both for this great dish,I can’t wait to try isha-Allah. I can’t help, but noticing how sharp is the knife you’re using,Maasha-Allah. I really admired your kitchen supplies. I am planing to buy food procesor and cake mixer in the future Isha-Allah. I do use small food procesor now, but I need big one,and I would love if you guys give me any suggestions which brand I should buy from. I saw some great reviews about Kitchen Aid on the internet,but I like your opinions more of what should I buy. Thank you again and Jizakallahu-kheyr

      Wa-alaykum as-salaam dear sister Ayan,

      Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. We have an electric knife sharpener, it really helps in the kitchen. Both KitchenAid and Cuisinart make good food processors and stand mixers. See which one has a better offer when you are ready to bye. Thank you for the question.
