The salad recipes are fab and are inspired from different countries around the world. I have taken pics and am going to try and post them up to share with you all so can all get inspired to make some yummy salads . I am not sure if they are clear enough to read but here goes :-

What a great idea, but I have only found this thread now. I am too late to join you now, and couldn't even start today because it will be a couple of days before I am able to go shopping for some of those ingredients. But you have all inspired me to give a salad week a try and will be doing it as soon as I have been shopping.
Here is me thinking a salad is a bowl of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and peppers but thanks to you all I am really excited and inspired to try something adventurous. Thank you
