"The great thing is that a lot of the following additions can be mixed and matched to achieve unique and fun flavor profiles. Salads don't just have to feature bland, limp, and waterlogged pieces of lettuce; there are so many ways to approach them and make them scrumptious and satiating. After trying some of them, you may never look at salad the same way again."
"Incorporating veggies into a salad can give it a boost of nutrients, add extra calories, and make it more filling. Plus, you can use one or more veggies to add color and texture to your bowl. We love that they can be raw, roasted, sauteed, or cooked however your heart desires. Cooking them, of course, will add more prep time, so raw veggies might be the best bet if you're trying to get dinner on the table fast."
Salads can become hearty meals by bulking them up with diverse ingredients that add calories, nutrients, texture, and flavor. Vegetables can be used raw or cooked—roasted or charred veggies deepen flavor while raw options save prep time. Adding grains like quinoa or rice, proteins such as chicken, tofu, or eggs, and legumes increases satiety. Cheeses, nuts, and seeds contribute richness and crunch, while fruits and bold dressings add brightness and balance. Combining several elements creates satisfying, colorful bowls that function as standalone meals or substantial side dishes.
