Salad recipes finally clicked when I stopped thinking of them as diet food and started making them as actual meals that satisfy.
The secret is layers of flavor and texture. Proteins that make them filling. Dressings that bring everything together instead of just sitting on top.

These salad recipes work as main dishes or substantial sides. Most can be prepped ahead, which makes weeknight dinners so much easier.
