I fell in love with this salad after trying it for the first time. I thought that putting dates and pistachios together in a salad would sweeten it too much but the mix with the arugula, feta and pomegranate seeds is simply perfect. A salad that literally takes 5/10 minutes to make and you can have it either as a light lunch/dinner or you can serve it as a starter or bring it to a picnic (your guests will be impressed). It’s really one of those dishes that stands out because of its flavours but requires almost 0 time.

Greek salad is a staple of Greek cuisine and makes for a perfect light lunch/dinner or as a side dish. It’s best to eat it in spring and summer when the ingredients are in season and fresh. As most of the ingredients are raw vegetables this will make a huge difference! Even though some people like to add greens like rucola and cabbage to their Greek Salad the original recipe only includes: tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onions, olives and feta cheese. You can of course add anything else (I like to add a couple of capers).

This is literally my all time favourite summer salad as it has everything I love: tomatoes, feta, capers and bread! And you can even add some pesto on top to give it an extra kick. In Greece it’s usually made with Round Barley Rusks but I also sometimes make them with these Krisprolls you can find in coop.

One of the staples of Italian cuisine is the Caprese Salad - so easy to make yet so delicious! The most important thing when it comes to Caprese are the ingredients - use good Mozzarella di Bufala and good tomatoes. I usually use either Cuore di Bue (Beefsteak Tomatoes) or Cherry Tomatoes depending on which ones look better when buying them.

This 15 minute Lentil Salad with Baked Feta is one of my all time favorite lentil dishes as it is super easy to make, a little bit spicy if you add the chilly, delicious with the lime juice and the baked warm feta really brings everything together.

This spicy lentil and chickpea salad is my absolute obsession. It’s not only super healthy (beluga lentils are full of fibre, chickpeas full of proteins and green beans are a great vitamin source), but also so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I also really like my salads to have an extra kick and adding the Sriracha sauce to this salad really brings out some amazing flavours.

Felix has been preparing this dish for years and has been sharing the recipe with friends, family and customers who fall in love with it right away when tasting it at Max & Otto and want to recreate it at home.
