GARDEN SALAD

Garden Salad image

My old school Garden Salad. The one I can make any day because I always have these vegetables on hand! And sometimes, when I feel like getting really fancy, I even add a sprinkle of parsley. ????There really are no rules when it comes to a Garden Salad. Any greens, any vegetables. Make this your own!

Estimated Reading Time 3 mins

Black Bean Salad with Corn & Avocado. Every Kitchn editor is currently making this salad on repeat, because it can be straight salad, taco filling, nacho filling, and so much more.
Avocado Caprese Salad. While a classic caprese salad is perfect in its own right, adding rich and buttery avocado to the situation definitely doesn’t hurt.
Marinated Feta-Beet Salad. This colorful salad is a great make-ahead option, as the beets can be roasted and tossed in the marinade up to two days ahead of time.
Chicken and Veggie Pesto Salad. While this recipe suggests making your own quick pesto, if you’re short on time you can definitely substitute your favorite store-bought jar.
Tomato Salad with Red Onion, Dill, and Feta. This tomato salad is extra juicy so it’s best to use a slotted spoon when serving, to drain some of the liquid before enjoying.
Farmers Market Salad. This recipe is really more of a template: Combine a mix of whatever looks good at the farmers market with some cheese and extra protein to make a fresh salad that has staying power.
Honey-Garlic Chopped Chickpea Salad. This Thai-inspired salad might be worth making a double batch of, since leftovers hold up well in the fridge and make a great lunch.
Honey Mustard Chicken Tender Salad. Frozen breaded chicken tenders add bulk and protein to this family-friendly salad and quickly turn it into dinner.
Rainbow Veggie Noodle Salad. It’s not just zucchini that can be spiralized — here beets, carrots, and watermelon radishes join the party to make a bowl that’s as colorful as the rainbow.
Tofu and Broccoli Salad with Peanut Butter Dressing. This salad is a great choice when you’re looking for something that’s filling but skips the meat.
