Vegetarian Salad Recipes FAQ
What can I put in a vegetarian salad?
We recommend loading vegetarian salads with seasonal produce, colorful fruits and vegetables, and textural toppings like crunchy nuts and creamy cheeses. You can also add plant-based meat substitutes to make salads more filling, so cook tempeh or use your favorite tofu recipes as a topping for vegetarian salads.
How do I make a salad filling without meat?
You can make filling vegetarian salads with meat substitutes like tofu or tempeh, but the right blend of hearty grains, fiber-rich legumes and healthy fats like nuts and avocado can make salads just as filling as any meat-topped salad. Try chickpeas, lentils or hearty veggies like winter squash, sweet potatoes, broccoli or Brussels sprouts. When grilled, sturdy cheeses like halloumi can be just as show-stopping as a steak. And don’t even get us started on creamy burrata cheese, which makes a decadent (and filling) salad topper.
How do I make a salad vegan?
To make a vegetarian salad vegan, remove any eggs, cheese or dairy products. You can add pantry ingredients like lentils, protein-rich chickpeas and other vegan comfort food MVPs. Many types of nuts offer the buttery deliciousness you’d ordinarily get with cheese, too. When it comes to adding heart-healthy whole grains, the sky is the limit!
