A salad is never “just a salad” at our house. There is absolutely never a reason to think, “I’m just a rabbit chewing on lettuce”. Give your salad a theme, and it becomes extraordinarily delicious!
Keep from getting bored with salads by thinking of it as traveling around the world. TexMex, Asian, Greek, Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean, Brazilian… there are so many world cuisines you can find inspiration from for your own salad creations.
Here's are some suggestions: Start with our Salad Base recipe, and then get creative with add-ins like ancient grains (quinoa, millet, or buckwheat), and roasted veggies (like red bell peppers, sweet potatoes, butternut squash or onions). Next, add a different bean/legume, there are dozens to choose from! Finally, add one of our flavorful dressings, and top it with nuts, seeds, avocado, or pickled onions or beets.
