These hearty vegan salad recipes are an excellent way to get in some plant-based nutrition.
No "rabbit food" here, folks. To create a vegan salad that will satisfy your hunger and keep you full, plant-based protein, whole carbs, and healthy fats are great additions. Chickpeas, hemp seeds, sweet potatoes, and quinoa are some of my favorite ingredients to add.
The vegan salad recipes listed below contain those and MORE. Packed with incredible flavor and texture, these hearty salads will not bore you. They can easily pass as a meal for lunch or dinner since they are so filling!
I've also included recipes for salad dressings, my favorite protein, and add-ons to make the ultimate custom salad of your dreams.
