5 Vegan Salad Recipes That Will Keep You Meals From Ever Being Boring

I don’t think you can ever have too many salad recipes. A salad is the most versatile dish you can make as a vegan. So many ingredients you can use. Salads are never boring!


While I was at my cousin’s place, after I helped in preparing dinner, my niece was sitting near me and asked why I am a vegan. She was confused why I refused eating meat and all its related products. She is an intelligent kid, so I patiently explained to her the principles behind veganism. She was able to understand most of what I said and I am very proud of her. She then asked what kind of food I eat and I replied that so long it wasn’t an animal product, then I can eat. “Do you only eat salads?” She politely asked and I answered that salads are just one of the foods that I eat. I added, “There are a lot of other dishes I can eat. The next time you visit, I’ll prepare something that is not only garden salad.”


Every time my lovely niece comes to my place, I make a salad dish for her, a different one each time she visits. My cousin is also delighted that her daughter is learning to eat healthy at a very young age. Among the salads that I have prepared for her are found on the next page. These are also perfect to serve for small gatherings.

Cauliflower-and-banana-salad


Cauliflower And Banana Salad


This unusual salad uses both sweet and tart fruit with cashew nuts to add colour and interest to pretty cauliflower florets, blanched just for a moment to retain their crispness. Roasted cumin seeds and fresh thyme marry the ensemble with their full, delightfully savoury flavours.




Asparagus and Strawberry Salad with Balsamic and Basil


Asparagus and Strawberry Salad with Balsamic and Basil


Strawberries and balsamic are a classic flavor combination. I’ll never forget the first time I tasted the two together, expecting something terrible; I was delighted at how delicious the marriage was! I often pair balsamic vinegar with fruit in salads (it’s also great with peaches, raspberries, and even watermelon), so I knew I’d be happy with this combination of ingredients. Needless to say, it was a hit, and it was also quick and easy to make.

Grape, Avocado, And Baby Kale Salad with Quinoa


If you’re finding it hard to be vegan, please don’t feel as though you’re doing something wrong, or as if you’re the only one: most new vegans find the transition to be a little bumpy. But don’t feel that you need to give up, either: instead, focus on simple, healthy, and flavorful food that can be put together without too much fuss. If you’d like, you can start with this salad, which is as vibrant and satisfying as it is nutrient-dense.

Crowd-Pleasing Vegan Caesar Salad




A delicious, creamy vegan Caesar salad that will please a crowd! The dressing recipe easily doubles for a larger group. Feel free to skip the roasted chickpea croutons and simply use your own croutons, or you can use the gluten-free Nutty Herb Croutons in The Oh She Glows Cookbook (page 296). The dressing will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for at least 5 days. It thickens up a lot when chilled, so be sure to leave it at room temperature to soften before using. Dressing adapted from My Vega.
