Classic salads are dishes that draw their strength from simplicity, balance and familiar combinations. Think of potato salad, herring salad, egg salad, tuna salad, salads with vinaigrette and cold starters that have been served for generations. They work well for lunch, as a starter, with a barbecue or as part of a festive table.
In short: classic salads are familiar salads with a clear base, such as potato, egg, fish, vegetables, meat or a simple dressing. They are timeless, easy to prepare in advance and often so well-loved precisely because they do not need to be complicated.
Classic egg salad
This egg salad is a classic sandwich filling: creamy with mayonnaise, lightly tangy thanks to Dijon mustard, and fresh with a little lemon and chives.
This fresh carrot and orange salad is light, aromatic and simple in composition. Coarsely grated carrot is mixed with orange segments, a gentle citrus dressing, a little honey, cinnamon and fresh mint.
