The 20 Best Salad Recipes
Salads are amazing and we’ve compiled the 20 Best Salad Recipes on the blog. We have salads for every season and they are every bit of yummy deliciousness!
Let’s talk about salad, friends. I’ve been obsessed with Sweetgreen’s Kale Caesar Salad. I’ve been buying it twice a week. And, at $12 a pop, that’s become an expensive habit. I don’t know about you but I get a taste for something and then I want it every day until I’m sick of it. After 3 Postmates orders in one week, I decided to buy all the ingredients and make it myself. I have to say that it was amazing but not perfect. As soon as it is perfect, you better believe that I’m going to be posting it over on my blog. That said, I’ve had my fill for a hot minute so I can move on to other salads.
The 20 Best Salad Recipes to be specific. I love how salads can be anything. All you have to do is have a dream and you’ll be able to make it. Grains, tacos, seasonal veggies, delicious dressings, cheeses, and all the great toppings have me obsessed with salads lately. Plus, they are a great way to get in all of your veggies for the day. One of my favorites is The Best Greek Salad Recipe. Have you tried it?
Put all of these recipes on your to-make list and you will never be bored with salad!
