      Fancy salad is very similar to a normal everyday salad but with pomegranite seeds and possibly some sort of fancy cheese. Or I might be out of date and there is a new definition of fancy this year.

      If you go back in time you will find a fancy salad involves jelly. Hopefully this is one trend that will never repeat.

        I imagined a Caesar with a little Top Hat on it and thanks to AI we can make this come to life!

        That’s funny because I was thinking if you want a pretty salad you just add pomegranate seeds but they’re not in season. Couldn’t think of anything else that would make it fancy. Haha.

          I think the trend before pomegranate seeds was flowers on top, probably with a large amount of rocket.

          If you can’t get pomegranate you could probably do something like pear and blue cheese.

              Orange can be fancy, but you need to make sure each segment is peeled with no white bits. Which is either incredibly fiddly or requires a soak in a pectin disolving enzyme.

                  I bottled a lot last year, after using the enzyme to peel them. They worked really well & I can now add them to salads whenever the mood strikes me. I don’t think I’d want to go to the effort of peeling.

      My cousin sent me recipes of pear and walnut type things and honestly even that is too much for me. I don’t even eat basic tomato and lettuce salad. I eat lots of veg, just can’t be bothered making salads… I can’t “think salad”.

      This is too hard. I’m going to change tack and suggest some top notch broccolini or green beans with a tasteful sprinkling of garlic infused olive oil and sumac and stuff like that. Maybe my aunt’s excellent julienned-cabbage stir fry that makes a great side even if it’s cold.
