Kaiser Otto Kartofflesalad

Kaiser Otto Kartofflesalad

King of Potato Salads.
A recipe dating back to when Germany had a king. It has developed over generations, as ingredients were discovered and became available. (This was made with salad cream in the 70’s), before mayonnaise became known. Each Otto generation added their own touch. It’s still a good salad using salad cream and plain yoghurt. But that’s another time.
It’s a great dish on its own, or as an accompaniment to a cold buffet, or BBQ with those over cooked sausages, or under cooked chicken?

This simple salad is easy to make and the eggs could be cooked in a pan on an open fire if outdoors. Also, everyone loves to forage.

Just an amazing summer cold dish, full of fresh/raw ingredients prepared in absolutely no time. The main ingredient is orzo, which is basically pasta in the shape of rice, which pairs perfectly with the vinaigrette & fresh veggies.

Cook Free Couscous Salad

Cook Free Couscous Salad

Couscous is readily available throughout Chile, and is also the only carbohydrate I know of that doesn’t need to be heated. This comes in handy if you’re looking to save on gas, or if you don’t have a cooker.

Southwest Salad with Sweet and Spicy Chicken

Southwest Salad with Sweet and Spicy Chicken

This has been a go-to meal for years for us, and it has translated really well into Vanlife.

I was playing with seasonings one night as I cooked chicken to put in a salad for dinner, and I loved the sweet and savoury heat it added to our salad!

The tortilla chips and Ranch really compliment the flavors of this dish.

You can modify this salad to your own tastes!

Perhaps you’re not a broccoli fan, or you hate black beans. That’s fine!

The beauty of a salad is you can toss it together your own way! Play with it, and have fun!

If you don’t have all of the ingredients, use what you do have! I often make a simplified version with no black beans, corn, tomato, or avocado-just a simple salad with chicken and tortilla chips on top.
