With these healthy and mouthwatering salad recipes, you’re not only keeping your body healthy, but you’re also feeding yourself deliciously fresh meals!

When we talk about healthy and fresh meals, I always have to include a salad in the list. Instead of just saying fruits or vegetables, why not say salad? It’s a simple word that defines fruits and veggies as one. As foodies, we should not just enjoy and share delicious foods but healthy and nourishing dishes as well, especially with kids. I have a 7-year-old at home and I always strive to encourage him to eat vegetables and fruits as much as possible. Salad recipes help me with this. Salads made it easy for me to let people know that healthy foods need not be boring and bland. And keeping a healthy lifestyle have never been easier and fun. This list is a beautiful collection of healthy salad recipes to help you beat weight gain and live healthily!

Healthy Salad Recipes You Will Enjoy!

I super love salad! For me, any salad will do. But a salad with slices of fruit, some greens, and a simple and tasty lemon dressing tops my list. How about yours? I hope you also love salad as much as I do! There are so many reasons why people must eat and love salad. Salad is a healthy dish rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, plus it’s a very easy and quick meal anyone can prepare. If you’re not into veggies, you can definitely relish a salad with mixed fruits and vegetables. You can also add slices of meat and some grains to make it more filling and complete. Now, I am so stoked to share with you all of my favorite salad recipes I know you will enjoy!
