Men and salads

Is it just my DH who's not a fan of salads? I'm so fed up with it. In this hot weather I'm enjoying delicious crisp, nutty, juicy, tasty salads of all sorts. Often I'll have cold salmon as a base but use other things too. However, DH is always miserable if it's not hot and features lots of potatoes. Last night he made himself a big bowl of lentil soup despite the loaded salad nicoise I had for him. Are all men like this?

My father loved a homemade quiche with a salad .
A baked potato is nice too .
A separate potato salad is also filling .
I add a little mustard to mayonnaise when making one.

Salad nicoise tonight. We were going to have it yesterday but I found I had no olives.

We both eat salads occasionally but I really dislike cold food (except ice cream!) so we usually have something hot with them, like mackerel, quiche or baked potato.

The only reason I wouldn't cook a meal in hot weather is the thought of having the oven on, but now we have the air fryer that's not a problem.

My husband makes a delicious, traditional German potato salad, granny’s recipe and a very good Caesar and Greek salad and eats cucumber and carrots as snacks. Seems I’m quite lucky.

Insalata Nizzarda is a hearty salad.

We don't add eggs or tuna, crispy tofu & seeds provide protein.

Surely it's not salad nicoise any more without eggs and tuna?

Not in my book, anyway!

I have just made a salad nicoise. Hard boiled egg, olives and tuna a must.

We make vegan nicoise when beans are nice. No eggs, add artichoke hearts, canellini beans, rocket and cherry tomatoes.
