10 Easy Salad Recipes For You To Try This Spring

Eating healthy can sometimes be a drag so here are 10 Easy Salad Recipes For You To Try This Spring. With seasons vegetables and vegan options, there should be plenty to choose from here.

1. Vegan Potato Salad With Maple Mustard Dressing

Here is one for the vegans out there! You can enjoy all the goodness of a potato salad without the dairy and the Maple mustard dressing is sweet and hot all at once. It will also last a little longer than a regular old salad which means you can prep at the beginning of the week and it will last you a good few days.

2. Zingy Carrot Salad

With notes of chilli and ginger, this salad has a nice warmth to it. This recipe can be a lot of admin with the grating of carrot but besides that, it’s quite a minimal salad that you can make time and time again. It would also make a great side to another dish if you had any to spare.

3. Basil, Chickpea and Tomato

This bulky salad is perfect for vegans and is so tasty! Chock full of tomatoey goodness this one is refreshing and filling and you can also make a houmous out of any leftover chickpeas. This recipe is also gluten-free and great for giving you the healthy glow you so desire in springtime.

4. Freekeh Salad

A tasty alternative to Quinoa, freekeh may have not been something you have tried or even heard of before but trust me. This freekeh salad is light and delicious – perfect for spring! The dash of pomegranate seeds adds a sharpness to the flavour overall which really compliments the nutty undertones that you get from the pistachios.

5. Broccoli, Lemon and Parmesan Pasta Salad

Bear with me on this one! Parmesan is a great addition to Broccoli, especially if you’d normally dislike it! With a dash of lemon and a decent portion of pasta, this vibrant salad will be both filling and refreshing. Plus if pasta is too heavy for you, you can always trade it for couscous or lettuce.

6. Traditional Greek Salad

A traditional Greek salad with all the trimmings. Cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, onions and feta! All the gangs is together, and if you are vegan you can totally swap the feta out for an alternative! Keeping it basic can sometimes be the best things, just a drizzle of oil and some cracked black pepper -you can’t go wrong with this classic.

7. Grilled Caesar Salad

Again, a classic salad that is great all year round, not just in spring! Plentiful slices of chicken and ciabatta with a classic caesar dressing are sure to hit the spot this spring.

8. Halloumi Rainbow Salad

Halloumi is one of the best cheeses to have in a salad, it gives you the saltiness you would otherwise be lacking. Accompanied by plenty of salad will be perfect for lunch or dinner.

9. Chicken, Bacon and Avocado

Avocado is in season so why not throw it in with some nice grilled chicken and crispy bacon. A hearty and filling choice for you this spring and a great dinner or lunch for you any day of the week.

10. BLT Pasta Salad

Like a deconstructed BLT this salad takes the heaviness out of an otherwise delicious classic. Great for lunchboxes this one has protein, carbs and veggies all in one spot and it’s sure to taste great too!
