Ploughman’s Salad
A rustic classic, the Ploughman’s Salad is a hearty combination of cheddar cheese, ham or pickled onions, apple slices, and crusty bread. Paired with Branston pickle or pickled onions and often enjoyed with a pint of ale, it’s a taste of the British countryside.
Waldorf Salad
Originally from New York, the Waldorf Salad has found a home in the UK. Combining crisp apples, celery, and walnuts with a mayonnaise dressing, it’s a delightful mix of crunchy and creamy textures.
Coronation Chicken Salad
Created for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, this salad features cold chicken in a creamy, curry-flavored dressing with raisins and apricots. It’s a regal dish that marries British and Indian flavors.
Eton Mess
While more of a dessert than a salad, Eton Mess deserves a mention. A mix of crushed meringue, whipped cream, and strawberries, it’s a sweet and tangy dish that captures the essence of British summers.
