Put Plant-Based Salads on Your Menu This Week

Outside+

Salads are, by definition, filled with leafy greens and fresh, seasonal fruits and veggies. But often, plenty of animal-based ingredients like meat, dairy, and eggs sneak into salads as toppings or dressings. If you prefer to keep your salads plant-based, or want to give the reducetarian approach a try, we've got recipes that'll make it easy.

A great place to start is with the plant-based Caesar salad above. It's all of the flavor you love in a classic Caesar, but we've make every component with plant-based ingredients. It's not meant to be a side – this salad is a whole meal. Or, try our Extra-Veggie Pan Bagnat made two ways and choose between a plant-filled sandwich or heart salad. Or combine plant-based kabobs with a leafy salad in our Lentil Kebab Salad recipe for a meal that feels like two in one.
