I like broccoli, sweet corn and peas, too. They go well with salmon patties and/or other fish/meat dishes that we have for dinners. 
Fresh runner beans and fresh peas.
Are they in a casserole/macaroni meal?
No as an accompaniment to meat or fish.
That sounds really good.
Green bean casserole is a very American dish. I don't think I have ever seen it outside the USA.
Wikipedia says it was invented in-house for Campbell's Soups.
80% Cauliflower & Cabbage,
That's good to hear. Is the cauliflower and cabbage in a salad or on the side?
🙂🙂🙂
Swiss chard and spinach are favourites too
That's great! What do you have with the Swiss Chard and Spinach? I usually have spinach either on the side or sometimes in a quiche or salad.
A poached egg on top of spinach and chard is a perfect quick breakfast, lunch or light supper.
We love all vegetables and fruit. Just started picking our soft fruit from the garden, loads of strawberries and raspberries. Had the first of many courgettes on Friday evening, the plants are really getting busy. Onions looking good and peas and beans are flowering.
That's fantastic to hear about your garden/fruit and vegetables. Thank you for letting us know. Have you added them to a salad or had them on the side with a meal/snack during the day?
Tonight we had a slow cooked pork casserole with lots of vegetables. Pudding was a crumble made with our own rhubarb and gooseberries given by a neighbour. I added stem ginger and a little of it's syrup, topped with a healthy crumble. Loads of cooked fruit left so in a dish in freezer. Raspberries and strawberries we shall have for breakfast topped with Quark and honey.
Tomatoes are a fruit and peppers are a vegetable
corn, jalapeño, prefer broccolini, cherry tomatoes, avocado.
Thank you for the information. Do you use the corn and jalapeno peppers in a salsa?
Not often! Eggs, chili, baked poppers , chilies are great in salads and anything pretty much. A fave is roasted poblano with beans, corn, salsa and topped with mashed avocado mixed with lime. Try them with peach preserves, beans of course , … in august we have roadside stands that roast pueblos… Colorado’s answer to hatch chilies.
This sounds really good and delicious. We had salsa recently with a meal one night for dinner. It had some avocado in it. It was a little spicy, but good.
Sorry. Peppers are fruit too.
Along with aubergine/eggplant, zucchini/courgette, avocado etc etc
I have them in the wrong drawer then! All those greens take up so much room!
Spinach
Do you have the spinach cold or warm?
It's an easy throw in ingredient when I'm cooking
Tomatoes and broccoli plus onion
Do you mix the tomato and onions together and eat the broccoli on the side?
To be frank, I eat all of them in a mix of recipes .I also like aubergine and courgettes. Both roasted, and cauliflower purée with garlic.
Although I’m not a vegetarian.
Cauliflower Purée sounds really delicious. I like cauliflower with my meals when it’s possible. 😀👍
Also aubergine purée
Cucumber, Lettuce & celery. But when the runner beans growing in the garden are big enough to cook, they will also be a summer favourite.
This sounds really good. When do the runner beans get planted?
They are now about 1 inch long, once they appear they grow fairly quickly. But will need to be 6 inches or more to be good enough to eat.
Zucchini !!!
Zucchini is one of my favorite type of vegetable. 😀👍
Tomatoes, radishes
I also add mixed vegetables and unions to casseroles.
Hi Leah, Fun poll as veggies rock all the time! 😁👍
Hmmm if I have to choose one, that would be cucumber 🥒. I can eat by itself, make into salad and a nice facial mask for summer time. 😁👌
Thank you, Koko. These sound really great ideas for cucumbers. I like cucumbers in salad when it’s possible.😀👍
Thank you for saying that about the poll!😀👍
I just love asparagus in summer. And I always keep some sprouting seeds to hand to scatter into salads. It's so easy and quick to get them to sprout in summer months. I love their fresh crunch in salads and stir fries!
Asparagus is really delicious with salmon patties and a few other types of fish that I have for dinner.
Rocket, broad beans, runner beans, french beans, peas, onions, spring onions, beetroot, sweet corn…what ever is in season or grown on my allotment.
These are some of my favorite types of vegetables. I like peas and sweet corn with a few of my dinners as side dishes. 😀👍
Beetroot, cucumber, kale, asparagus and broccoli. For me, beetroot is essential in a salad and I’m going to try it in other ways because I love it. I try to eat a wide variety of veg. and salad every day. 🙂
I like broccoli in my salad when I can get it. I also enjoy it in my quiche.😀👍
Yes I think it goes well with cheese. 🙂🥦🧀
Yes, broccoli and cheese go well together.😀👍
In fact, just thinking that cheese goes well with a lot of veg. and salad. 🙂
Yes! That’s right. Cheese and salad go really well together. 😀👍
I eat all of them in abundance as I follow a plant based diet.😄
This is very good! These are my favorites for the Summer and some for the rest of the year. They are: Green Beans, Carrots, Lettuce, Bell Peppers/Tomatoes. 😀👍More
I eat them all. I love veg.
That’s fantastic! I have a lot of different types of vegetables that I enjoy, too. They’re longer than the ones that are on the poll’s list. 😀👍
Other: Baby bella mushrooms, sugarsnap peas, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, peas, baby corn, sweet potato and new potatoes, red onions, scallions, plus all the above in stir-frys and salads. And I like raw beets in salads too when I can get them. There's not much that hasn't found it's way into a salad I've made at one time or another. I just love raw veggies and can often be found snacking on a carrot in preference to potato chips.
This is great to hear. There’s a lot of my favorite type of vegetables that are both on and off the list for the poll. 😀👍
i also like grated celeriac, watercress, spring onions and endive which has lots of inulin , good for gut biome
Thank you for letting us know this about the amount of inulin. 😀👍
Hi Leah a great poll I do really like new potatoes especially with a big salad and cook them in their skin. I’m buying local ones at the moment so even better. My favourite salad veg is baby plum tomatoes and I eat lots every day and I love different varieties of lettuce. 😊
This sounds really good about the new potatoes and big salad. I had a big salad last night for dinner with purple cabbage mixed in-- along with a few other vegetables.
My favorite vegetables are: Green Beans, Carrots, Lettuce, Bell Peppers/(Cherry) Tomatoes.
Thanks for saying that about the poll! Much appreciated.
Cauliflower and sprouts
I enjoy cauliflower in some of my meals during the Summer. What do you have with the sprouts?
More sprouts!
Plus tomatoes, courgettes, onions
Do you have the onions in salad or in a sandwich?
i eat most veg ...a lot of it.
Which ones do you like the most?
Sweet potatoes.
I like sweet potatoes, too and sometimes have them instead of regular potatoes.
When I changed my dietary habits in 2017 after a heart attack attributed to stress and sugar, I was advised to avoid any the whites: sugar, bread, rice, pasta and potatoes. I don't know if there is science underlying this, but a vegetable centred eating regime with sweet potatoes at it's core seems to have kept my arteries happy and has done wonders for my dental bills. (My dentist can't believe the lack of decay, given my previous record!)
I eat the sweet potatoes the most because they have less carbs. in them than the regular baked potatoes.
We don't eat celery, as lm allergic but eat every other vegetable if available.
I dont really change veggies between seasons so I eat most broccoli all year round.
Do you put cheese on the broccoli?
No I dont, but sounds like a nice addition.
The first time I had broccoli and cheese together was when I went out to eat before COVID started.
I must try it!
I eat lettuce spring, onions, peas
Do you put the peas on the side or mix in with other vegetables?
I usually mix them with other vegetables. But I like them on the side too
I like the peas with other vegetables, too and also for pea salad.
Spring onions
What do you have with the spring onions?
I think I've picked nearly all your options
I tend to crave salads in the summer (although not as much this year). I eat most of the other foods throughout the year, but I do like carrot sticks for a refreshing/cool summer snack.
Do you like dip with the carrot sticks or do you use something else as a dip substitute-- like hummus? I like both hummus and dip for my vegetables.
Broccoli and Brussel sprouts mainly and sometimes peas
All three are on my list of favorite vegetables and fruits. I have Brussel Sprouts mostly for side dishes along with broccoli and peas-- unless I can add everything to certain meals as dinners ( quiche/pasta/stir fry).
I've been brought up to eat healthy so I love my veg at anytime of year. I love my Green Beans, Carrots, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, White Mushrooms plus many more veg.
A great way to get people communicating about eating healthy especially when it comes to veg as they contain many nutrients to keep your mind and body healthy.
Would you consider doing polls about plant based meals as well?
Another Great Survey. x
Thank you for saying that about the poll, Lotus-Blossom . Much appreciated always.😀👍
A plant based meal poll sounds like a great idea, thank you. I will check for some answers to be used.😀👍
Thank you for your reply, I enjoy taking part in your polls.Thank you for mentioning me.
You’re welcome! We’re working on the new poll for plant based foods/meals to be posted very soon.😀👍
Also own grown courgettes sauted in a little oil and dried herbs served with crumbled feta cheese, we leave some to grow on to marrows (delicious stuffed with mince and veg or sausage meat and S&O stuffing) just about to pick the first runner beans and potatoes...Happy Harvest
This sounds really good. Which type of potatoes did you plant?😀👍
