Mixed salad

Make the salad you like best with whatever you have, and add olive oil, seeds, nuts or a yoghurt dressing. It is a raw dish, so it is a good choice when you have an appetite and tolerate raw vegetables well; otherwise, there are better options in the same menu.

Who this recipe is for

A light raw dish that fits into the weekly menu for people with cancer when you have an appetite and no digestive discomfort.

Ingredients

Quantities for 2 servings. Tick off what you already have.

Step by step

  1. Wash the leafy greens well and dry them. Do not skip this step: food hygiene matters more than usual during treatment.
  2. Chop the tomato and cucumber, and grate the carrot.
  3. Combine everything in a large bowl.
  4. Dress with the olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  5. If you like, add seeds or nuts when serving, or a spoonful of plain yoghurt whisked with a pinch of salt.

Adaptations

How to change it depending on the day. Each change keeps the dish, it does not replace it.

  • Mouth sores or dry mouth

    Avoid it on those days: raw vegetables and tough leaves can irritate mouth sores. Swap it for a warm soup or purée.

  • Poor appetite

    Add a hard-boiled egg, tuna, fresh cheese or ground nuts, and an extra tablespoon of oil: on its own, the salad is not a complete meal.

  • Diarrhoea

    If you have diarrhoea or do not tolerate raw vegetables, replace the salad with cooked vegetables served warm, such as green beans, carrot or steamed courgette.

What it provides

It provides fibre, water and vitamins from the raw vegetables, and healthy fats from the oil. It is low in protein and calories, so it is not substantial enough as a meal on its own.

The dietitian's tip

If you are gaining weight during treatment, have it as it is, without adding extra oil or nuts.

It is part of the weekly menu for people with cancer. Also from the same menu: pasta salad with egg and tuna and tomato gazpacho.

What a recipe is not

This recipe fits into a plan; it does not replace one. It cures nothing and it is not calculated for one particular person: the quantities are indicative and will need adjusting to your case.

If you have a medical condition, take medication or follow a prescribed diet, check with your doctor or your dietitian before changing anything.
