If you all haven’t noticed yet, I love salads! I eat them all year round and can’t help myself when it comes to piling them high with tons of ingredients. While I can respect a good side salad, I tend to gravitate towards salads that are filling enough that you can eat it for an entire meal. This means that they have to be packed with protein, vegetables, a little starch and, of course, a delicious dressing to top it all off with.
Today I’m sharing with you 30 Vegetarian Main Dish Salad Recipes, or meal salads as I like to refer to them. I hope you all love this roundup as much as I do! Not only do these salads make for great meals, but they also are all great if you want to make them ahead and take them for lunch during the week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend 🙂
