The Summer of Apetina Salads Round Up

This summer Apetina ran a series of summer salad challenges where bloggers were asked to create a themed salad using an Apetina product.    Each week four salads were listed on Facebook where Apetina fans could vote for their favourite and were entered into a draw to win a picnic hamper or BBQ.

I loved the campaign, as the bloggers were paid for their work, and because the prize draw was for voting in the competition, rather than for the top salad there were none of the usual issues with voting competitions.  If only more brands ran a competition like this!

The salads created for the campaign used a range of Apetina products, from the classic blocks and cubes, to the flavoured snack packs (which are great for pic-nics).

The weekly themes and winners were:

Week 1 – Classics with a Twist  American Style Chopped Sald with Apetina

Week 2 – Snazzy Showpiece Salads Caramalised Red Onion Tarlet Salad

Week 3 – Lively and Leaf-free  Hearty Potato Egg & Potato Salad

Week 4 – Keeping the Kids Happy  Summer Suncatcher Salad

Week 5 – Salads For Picnics  Fresh and Zingy New Potato Salad

Week 6 – BBQ Bonanza  Crispy Bacon and New Potato Salad

Huge congratulations to all the winning salads, I was delighted to see creations by blog buddies Sarah, Katie and Jac, although I would have liked my Apetina No-Prawn Cocktail to have won the popular vote.

I also love the look of the Summer Suncatcher Salad a fruity delight of strawberries, apricots and cherries topped with cubes of  Apetina.

As well as the summer salad recipes, if, the weather ever improves you might find the Apetina BBQ Club useful.  It is a Facebook  where everyone coming can select what they will bring along, hopefully ending those annoying situations where you have 100 sausages but no beer, or the other way round.
