Unboring dinner salads 🥗
Not boring salads that deserve a spot at your dinner table

We don’t tolerate salad mediocrity around here.
Many times when I’ve told people I eat a predominantly plant-based diet, they say to me, “I could never eat that many salads, I’d get bored.”
There are a couple of things wrong with this statement; first, the assumption that if you eat mostly (or even all) plants that you must eat salads. You absolutely can hate salads and still eat plant-based because of the dizzying array of meals you can make with plant foods.
And second…who is out there making boring salads?!? I know I’m not, and if you are thinking to yourself, “Yeah, maybe my salads are a little boring", then today’s recipes are perfect for you.

Lettuce is a part of the same plant family as sunflowers (who knew!). In fact, the Asteraceae family includes many plants we grow and eat as foods, including chammomile, chicory, tarragon, and stevia. (source)

Salad can get a bad rap. People think of bland and watery iceberg lettuce, but in fact, salads are an art form, from the simplest rendition to a colorful kitchen-sink approach.
