20 Salads Hearty Enough for Tonight’s Dinner
We love to make big salads for dinner at our house. The salad that I make most frequently is a taco salad. It’s one of my comfort foods. But I also make lots of other different varieties, including rice and pasta salads. Including meat, beans, or whole grains is a great way to add more substance to a salad. I also like to sometimes include a nice cheese in place of a meat and add lots of nuts or seeds. Salads like the ones I have in the slide show below are hearty enough to make your whole family happy, but if your worried they won’t be quite enough, you can easily supplement with fresh crusty bread and grilled chicken breasts (or tofu) if the salad is vegetarian.

One of my favorite salads is blueberries, sliced peaches, green grapes, & sometimes melon balls, mixed together & dressed with sour cream and brown sugar. You can mix and match fruit on this to your liking. I never measure this, I just mix, and it is gone… ; )
What other salads do you have. Can these be divided into mason jars
Thanks so much for this! I never can get excited about salad, and perpetually feel guilty about not getting enough variety of greens into my family. This provided some yummy looking ideas that have me actually excited to get a salad on the table, in spite of the wintry weather!
One of our favorite salads is so simple, mixed fruits. Any reasonable amt of naval oranges, grapefruit, apples, grapes, bananas cut as large/small as you like. Then pour marashino cherries (halve if desired) and juice. Mix all together. Include kiwi and any other fruit you have.
Please send recipe on top salad pictured with layers of avocado, egg…saw it on Pinterest, but no recipe…
