Vegan Caesar Salad

Caesar salad is a classic dish that you can find on pretty much every restaurant menu. Its main downside is that it’s not 100% vegan, but you can make it that way with this delicious recipe.

Lemon Pasta Salad

If you love pasta and salads in equal measure, pasta salad is probably one of your all-time favorite dishes. This one is especially tasty thanks to its zesty lemon Dijon dressing, and it’s the perfect refreshment for hot summer days.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Salads that perfectly combine sweet and savory ingredients experienced a huge rise in popularity this summer, and this one will make you fall in love with the strawberry and spinach combo.

Carrot & Chickpea Salad

If you’re always in the mood for trying dishes inspired by the international cuisine, you should try this super-crunchy and protein-rich carrot and chickpea salad, topped with spicy Moroccan dressing.
