The sun is shining and the first question that comes up: is it barbecue weather? For a meat, fish or vegetarian dish you may already have some inspiration. But what about the salad for the bbq?
‘I especially like all non-meat dishes that come with a barbecue’, how many times have you heard this quote in your life? When it comes to grilling, many people are especially happy about all the delicious side dishes. Ready for some fresh inspiration? In this article we list some options for salads for you.
For many, barbecue season is all about succulent cuts of meat, flavorful marinades and smoky aromas. But in the midst of all that barbecue violence, one element is often overlooked: the salads. Absolutely no less important than that piece of meat. Salads provide freshness and a welcome variety of flavors and textures.
The perfect salad for your barbecue
What should a good salad for your BBQ meet? First of all, choose ingredients that go well with grilled food. Think of crunchy vegetables, such as cucumber, bell pepper or radishes. They form a tasty counterpart to the meat. Fruit such as watermelon, pineapple or peach make your salads sweet and summery.
Choose a dressing that is lighter and not too overpowering. Think of a dressing based on lemon or balsamic vinegar. Add some fresh herbs (from your own garden?) – basil, mint or coriander – and you’re done!
The eye also wants something, so keep that in mind when shopping. Choose colorful ingredients and a tasty, crunchy topping of, for example, roasted nuts, seeds or croutons.
Not in the mood for thinking? Then get started with one of the salads in the list below.

pasta salad with tuna & anchovy dressing
Janneke Philippi came up with this do-it-yourself pasta salad for us. ‘I find it surprising to present the ingredients of a salad separately, so that everyone can put together their own salad. You can prepare all the ingredients in advance!’ This salad is on the table within half an hour and even better; in the park, on your balcony, in the garden, as long as it’s al fresco!

wholemeal pasta salad with roast beef
Every now and then we like real power food. That is why we choose ingredients that can give our body that little bit extra, for example walnut oil. It contains many polyunsaturated fatty acids and also omega-3 oil, the oil that is also found in oily fish and which we almost all eat too little. So healthy fats! In addition to the walnut oil, our wholemeal pasta salad also contains sprout mix: a mix of young, just germinated seeds that are packed with vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
