Recipe Inspiration: Salads

I’ll be honest. I hate when people tell me there’s a plant-based option on the menu, and it’s just a simple salad. A side salad with a single tomato slice is not a meal, and I don’t want to remove the cheese, bacon, and dressing from the full salad in order to eat it.

Salad - tomatoes, sweet peppers, mushrooms, chickpea puffs, microgreens, and avocado dressing

Salads don’t have to be boring.

I mean who’s actually counting - but a salad with 6 or more ingredients is perfect for me. I love different textures and a colorful plate. Even the contrast of warm and cold ingredients adds to the experience.
