　　制作快速、简单且清爽的沙拉一直是夏日里的一道开心美味。虽然一提到沙拉，人们往往想到的只是蔬菜加少许酱汁的组合，而事实上，世界各地的沙拉可谓是五花八门，每个人都能找到自己中意的那一款。

　　Now, meet some of the iconic salads from across the globe.

　　现在，就让我们来品味一些来自世界各地的特色沙拉吧!

　　US: Waldorf Salad

　　美式华尔道夫沙拉

　　Though hardly the kind of salad to aid weight loss, the Waldorf Salad offers mouthfuls of crunchy indulgence. Created at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896, not by a chef but by the dining room manager Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf Salad has been a favorite in the US ever since.

　　虽然减肥无益，但华尔道夫沙拉却能凭借松脆的口感满足你的口腹之欲。这道沙拉于1896年诞生于纽约市华尔道夫-阿斯多里亚酒店的厨房里，发明它的并非什么大厨，而是该酒店的餐厅经理奥斯卡•奇尔基。一直以来，华尔道夫沙拉都深受美国人的喜爱。

　　This classic salad is simplicity at its best. Peel two raw apples and cut them into small pieces taking care to remove any seeds from the bowl. Chop some celery, add a few walnuts and mix everything with the apples. Dress the salad with mayonnaise and a dash of lemon juice and you’re done.

　　这道经典沙拉最大的好处就是简单。将两个苹果削皮并切成小块，切记要倒掉碗中的果核。将西芹剁碎，加入少许核桃仁，将所有材料同苹果混合起来。最后点缀上蛋黄酱，再加入几滴柠檬汁，就大功告成了!

　　Grapes can be added for extra flavor and in restaurants the salad is often served on a bed of lettuce.

　　如果想要别具风味，可以添加一些葡萄;在餐厅中，这道沙拉的下面会铺上一层生菜。

　　UK: Ploughman’s Salad

　　英式农夫沙拉

　　While The Guardian describes the UK as “a country where in cafes and casual restaurants it is deemed acceptable to serve a bit of tomato, onion and grated carrot on undressed iceberg lettuce and call it a salad”, a more traditional salad in Britain is the Ploughman’s Salad.

　　英国《卫报》将英国形容成这样一个国度——“一些咖啡馆和休闲餐厅将西红柿、洋葱和胡萝卜丝盛放在一层不加料的卷心生菜上并称之为沙拉，而人们竟也欣然接受”，在英国，较为传统的沙拉便是农夫沙拉。

　　This salad combines chunks of cheese, fresh green leaves, pickled vegetables, bread and chutney. It is derived from the Ploughman’s Lunch, an old-fashioned pub meal that was nominated as a cultural icon of Britain and is traditionally accompanied by a glass of beer.

　　农夫沙拉混合了大块的奶酪，新鲜的绿叶菜、泡菜、面包以及酸辣酱。它源自于农夫午餐——这是一种古老的酒吧餐品，曾被提名为“英伦文化符号”，传统吃法是配上一杯啤酒。

　　Italy: Caprese Salad

　　意式卡布里沙拉

　　Originating in the southwest island of Capri in Italy and reflecting the colors of the Italian flag (red, white and green), the Caprese is probably the most well known Italian salad. While very simple to put together it bursts with fresh Italian flavors.

　　卡布里沙拉源自于意大利西南部的卡布里岛，色彩上辉映了意大利国旗的红白绿三色。卡布里沙拉或许是意式沙拉中名声最大的一个了。尽管做法十分简单，但却充分体现了清新的意式风情。

　　This traditional Italian salad consists of tomatoes, sliced mozzarella cheese and basil leaves, drizzled with olive oil. Though the salad is delightfully easy to make, it requires the best ingredients. The tomatoes, for instance, must be ripe and juicy.

　　这道传统的意式沙拉中有西红柿、莫泽雷勒干酪片、罗勒叶，再淋上橄榄油。做法虽然看似容易，但需要上等的食材。例如，必须选用成熟而多汁的西红柿。

　　Greece: Horiatiki Salata

　　希腊乡村沙拉

　　On the menu in almost every Greek restaurant, there is the Horiatiki Salata (“village salad”). But in the non-Greek world, it is known simply as the “Greek Salad”.

　　在希腊，几乎每家餐厅的菜单上都会有这道“乡村沙拉”。而在世界其他地方，这道菜被简称为“希腊沙拉”。

　　A typical Greek Salad consists mainly of quartered tomatoes, thick slices of cucumber and sliced red onions. Sometimes green peppers and olives are added, but it should never include lettuce. Feta cheese is either diced and mixed in with the salad, or placed on top as a whole piece. In the latter case, Greeks break the Feta into chunks with a fork and mix it in with the rest of the salad at the table.

　　一道典型的希腊沙拉主要原料有：西红柿(一分为四)、厚黄瓜片以及红洋葱片。尽管有时还会加入青椒和橄榄，但却将生菜“拒之门外”。菲达干酪切丁同沙拉拌在一起，或者干脆一整块原封不动地摆放在最上面。如果是第二种做法的话，希腊人就餐时通常会用叉子将这一整块奶酪分成大块，同盘中的沙拉混合在一起。
