Question by Mona: What type of salad to go with a main course featuring baked fish?
I have to prepare an accompaniment salad to go with a man course featuring baked fish. What type of salad should I prepare?

Answer by Geri42
There’s a salad that I make that goes really well with fish. It’s made with a mixture of lettuce and Romaine, raisins, sliced almonds, olives (I use black olives) and croutons, with Ranch dressing. Really good, and not so strong flavors that it overwhelms fish, which is usually rather mild.

delicious!
Okay, I’m making this for a picnic on April 28 and will send you a video!
I gotta try this! Creative salad <3
You could do a coleslaw salad or some diced fresh fruit (like whole raspberries with diced strawberries, diced cantaloupe, diced honeydew, and blueberries) on a lettuce leaf with a vinaigrette containing black sesame seeds or the seeds from pureed kiwi in the vinaigrette.
Hope that helps.
These are both great with fish…
GREEN BEAN AND TOMATOES WITH LEMON & HERB DRESSING
This is one of the vegetable salad recipes which is just as good served warm as it is when chilled.
1 lb fresh green beans – stem ends trimmed
3 or 4 roma tomatoes – sliced into thin wedges
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
finely grated zest of half a lemon
1 clove garlic – crushed and minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, dill, cilantro, arugula or chives
good grey sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation:
Steam green beans for 5 or 6 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain well and arrange on a large plate or baking sheet and place in the fridge to chill for 5 or 10 minutes. Place chilled green beans and tomato wedges in a mixing bowl. Add oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, fresh herb of your choice, salt and pepper. Toss well to combine. Serve at once.
Variation:
Skip the step of chilling the beans and serve this salad warm, its wonderful!
Substitute marinated sun-dried tomatoes for the fresh ones.
THAI CUCUMBER SALAD
2 medium cucumbers – sliced in half lengthwise, seeds removed if they are very large, sliced diagonally
1 small red onion – sliced into thin wedges – soaked in cold water for 30 minutes to mellow the flavor if you like, and drained well
1 small red bell pepper – seeded, quartered, and sliced diagonally into strips
1 small yellow pepper – seeded, quartered, and sliced diagonally into strips
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
juice from one or two limes
3 or 4 drops liquid stevia extract or a generous pinch of dry powdered stevia leaves (optional)
fish sauce or good grey sea salt to taste
Preparation:
Place the cucumber, peppers, onions and cilantro into a mixing bowl. Mix together the lime juice, stevia and fish sauce or salt in a small bowl. Pour over the vegetables and mix well. Serve at once.
Variations:
Add fresh tomato wedges.
Add hot fresh chiles.
Add some freshly grated ginger juice.
Substitute fresh Thai basil for the cilantro.
This crunchy oriental coleslaw is delicious with fish!
