Salads
This is a collection of my Best Side & Dinner Salad Recipes! If you’re stuck in a salad rut, it’s full of wholesome, nourishing ideas. Some of these work really well as starters, like the Caesar Salad and Tomato Avocado Cucumber Salad. Others are full meals balanced with vegetables and good sources of protein, like the Steak Salad and Chicken Shawarma Salad. If you meal prep any for the week, just leave the dressing on the side!

Salad Recipes I Rely On
I make salad almost every week, but for years I was cycling through the same handful of recipes. Same greens, same dressing, done. It got old fast. I put this salad recipe collection together because I needed a real reference for when I’m stuck on what salad to make, whether that’s a quick lunch or for dinner when I want something that actually holds people over.
