Here’s another batch of 1980s Kraft salad ideas. At first glance some of the combinations seem a bit odd and they’re certainly not what we’re putting together in 2022, but I think most of them would actually taste fairly good – although I do have my doubts about the Citrus Coleslaw…….
The combination of tinned tuna and vegetables served over couscous makes this a healthy, refreshing meal. If you wanted to you could play around with the ingredients – change the tuna for salmon, the couscous for rice or use whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. It can be quite versatile.
This is so simple and easy I doubt if there’s any need to make it the day ahead as suggested, but I guess that means that any leftovers would be still taste as good.
As Step 4 in this recipe says, this can be a vegetarian dish or a side dish served with whatever meat you wish. The potato and the cauliflower can be precooked in the microwave and once that’s done the rest is pretty quick and easy – and tasty.
If you’re looking for a different way to serve mashed potatoes this might be the answer. I think it would be pretty good hot, but do like the idea of frying the leftovers……yum.
You could make this pumpkin dish for lunch or serve it with a roast or other main course, whichever way it’s a great way to add a bit of interest to the plain old pumpkin.
Not everyone likes pumpkin, but it’s actually a fairly versatile vegetable. Growing up most of our mothers only served it boiled or roasted. I now like it mashed or in curries and casseroles too. Haven’t tried this version, but I’m going to as I think the creamy cheezee sauce sounds great.
These make a nice change from a traditional beef hamburger and as the Woman’s Day hint says ‘fritters can be served in hamburger buns, as a vegetable accompaniment or with a salad’. I’d also suggest serving them between two pieces of toast.
Not everyone in my family likes peas, so I won’t be making this for them, but for those who do it’s certainly a different way to eat them. Not sure I like the idea of the sultanas though, think I’d substitute capsicum or tomato to make it more savoury.
This is a great way to jazz up plain old mashed potato. If you want a gluten free option, leave off the breadcrumbs and just top with either more mozzarella or other cheese.
