Vegetable salads

When you want something light, but not just a “lettuce leaf with a tomato,” reach for a vegetable salad.
You’ll find bowls full of fresh vegetables, simple dressings, cheeses, seeds and legumes.
They work as a light lunch, dinner, a side for the grill, or a snack for work.
I base the recipes on commonly available ingredients and quick preparation.
I often add a tip on how to boost the salad with protein or make it a main dish.
