Salads make a great dinner option for many reasons. They’re light and refreshing, but they also pack a lot of nutrients that your body needs. Plus, they can be eaten any time of the day–even breakfast! There are so many different types of salads out there: green salads, fruit salads (with or without yogurt), pasta salads…the list goes on.

- Kale Salad Recipes
Kale is a superfood and it’s packed with vitamins and minerals. It also contains more calcium than milk! Kale makes a great addition to any salad because it adds crunch and flavor, but most importantly, it helps you feel full longer. Here are some of our favorite kale recipes:
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup sliced almonds or walnuts (optional)
Vegan Salad Recipes
There are plenty of vegan salad recipes that you can make for dinner. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Caprese Salad – A classic Italian dish made with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil. This recipe is easy to make and requires only five ingredients!
- Caesar Salad – This version uses vegan Parmesan cheese instead of real parmesan cheese so it’s dairy-free! The dressing is also made from scratch using olive oil instead of mayonnaise or other store-bought dressings.
- Mexican Salad – This recipe combines all your favorite Mexican flavors into one healthy salad! It has beans, avocado and corn as well as spicy jalapenos for added spice (or not). You could even add some chicken if you want something more filling than just veggies!
- Cobb Salad – Another classic American dish that has been transformed into something healthier by switching out traditional ingredients like bacon bits for tempeh bacon bits (which taste just like real bacon!).
