Ok, so what we have here are 4 salad dishes. At the top we have a Tabouli salad, it has bulgar (not very good texture) which is cooked like rice but for longer time, lemon juice and oil. We also cut up some green olives and topped it with a butterhead lettuce leaf.
Next going clockwise we have a Spicy Mango Chutney Chicken Salad, great flavor and pretty quick and simple. In this dish we pickled grapes (awesome flavor) which we spiced up the pickling liquid to make the *spice come alive. So basically the ingredients that are commonly used is chicken, celery diced, green onions diced or sliced, the chutney which i'll go over in a second, mayo, and grapes. I chopped the chicken in this dish, pickled the grapes as said before, hand made the mayo with oil, egg yolks, and some vinegar, and made the chutney by reducing water and sugar then adding spices and mango then cooking for 20 minutes to soften and flavor fully.
Next dish is a Couscous salad. Couscous is a pasta, different texture but I enjoy, also has a unique flavor alone. Cut up into medium dice red peppers, green peppers, green onions sliced on a bias, cucumbers peeled and diced, black olives, and red onions julienned 1/8" X 1/8". Then you can make any dressing you desire but we made a orange vinagerette. Basically oil and fresh orange juice. 3-oil to 1-oj.
Last salad on the left is a Winter White Salad. Basic salad with winter seasoned vegetables, then a blood orange vinagerete with a blood orange slice garnish.
