Fresh, vibrant, and satisfying salads that prove plant-based eating is anything but boring
Forget sad desk salads - vegan salads can be hearty, satisfying meals packed with flavor, texture, and nutrition. From grain-based buddha bowls to creative green salads with homemade dressings, these recipes showcase the incredible variety of plant-based eating and prove that salads can be the star of any meal.
Colorful vegetables mean diverse nutrients. Eating the rainbow ensures you're getting a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.
With grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, these salads are substantial meals that keep you satisfied for hours.
Use what you have on hand - salads are the perfect way to use up vegetables and experiment with flavors.
Homemade dressings are easy and taste infinitely better. Basic formula: 3 parts oil, 1 part acid, plus salt and flavorings.
The best salads have multiple textures: crunchy (nuts, seeds), creamy (avocado, tahini), chewy (dried fruit, grains), and crisp (fresh veggies).
For kale or tough greens, massage with a little salt and oil for 2-3 minutes. This breaks down fibers and makes them tender and delicious.
Keep dressing separate until you're ready to eat to prevent soggy salads. For meal prep, layer dressing on the bottom.
