Salads play a huge role in my diet but it's important to make the distinction, I'm not just talking about iceberg lettuce with a bit of cheese salads. The vegetarian salad recipes on this site range from ones made with spinach or kale to different varieties of lettuce. Or, a grain salad where the base is quinoa or Einkorn. The combination of grains, greens, and produce is endless which make salads exciting (at least to me).
The majority of these recipes can be adapted to easily fit your diet. Want a vegan salad? Ditch the cheese. How about a gluten-free salad? Swap out the grains that might be in the ingredients for one of your favorite. I also urge you to make your own dressing (most of these recipes have dressing recipes included). Make a big batch and save it to use throughout the week!
