Salads have come a long way since the days of limp lettuce and woolly-tasting tomatoes. Feast on Delia's wonderful combinations for real summer eating.
Serves 4-6Dried Fruit Salad with Yoghurt and Nuts
This recipe is full of natural, good things – there is no sugar in it as I have come to the conclusion it tastes better without it.
Serves 3 as a main course or 6 as a starterCold Poached Egg Salad with Watercress Sauce
This is a kind of variation on the egg mayonnaise theme, but I think extremely attractive and even more delicious.

Goat's cheese, roasted vegetables, couscous and a fiery dressing combine to make this one of Delia's best and most popular recipes, perfect for a buffet or party.

This is a low-fat variation of Thai Grilled Beef Salad with Grapes. In Thailand they serve it with pomelo, which is very similar to grapefruit.
Serves 4Spiced Carnaroli Rice Salad
This is a lovely spicy salad with Moroccan overtones – perfect for a buffet lunch, party or serving with cold cuts and spicy chutneys.

This very simple little salad makes a nice side dish. I like to serve it as a nibble before an oriental meal. If you have problems tracking down Japanese ingredients, try www.clearspring.co.uk

Serves 4Char-grilled Aubergine and Roasted Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese

Serves 6-8Potato Salad with Roquefort
This potato salad, with creamy, piquant Roquefort and the added crunch of celery and shallots, is good to eat all by itself, but I also like to serve it with cold cuts at a buffet lunch. It's therefore a very good recipe to have around at Christmas.
