Above all, I also have a number of Asian-style salads with exotic dressings. There are also many main meal salads to satisfy veggie lovers.

Fresh ingredients and the right dressing are an important part of a good salad

You can find the freshest locally grown ingredients for a delicious and healthy salad at your local farmers market. And I recommend that you learn one or two homemade dressing recipes by heart. Once you have a go-to salad dressing, you can easily create a delicious salad with a variety of ingredients with no effort at all. French dressing is my favorite as it packs a lot of flavor, goes with everything and takes 2 minutes to make.

These best salad recipes make eating nutrient-dense foods easy and delicious

By browsing my recipe collection, you’ll discover that salads don’t always have to be a side dish. I especially like to have a salad as a main course for lunch or dinner. And by adding just a few additional ingredients you can easily make a salad rich and filling. Whether you add roasted vegetables, a grain, pasta or protein, a simple salad can easily be transformed into a hearty main. As an added bonus, you will find that most of my recipes also provide tips on how you can trade-out ingredients. There are also other tips and suggestions on how to make the recipe your own.
