I love a good salad, especially during the spring and summer months, but there's nothing worse than a meal that leaves you feeling unsatisfied. That's why I pulled together my favorite filling vegan salads with real staying power.
Each of these salads is an entree all on it's own -you'retaste budsand belly will both be happy campers after one of these. The key is to create an entree salad with balance. Along with plenty of non-starchy vegetables, these salads contain foods rich in fiber andplant-based protein. for satisfaction.
Some of my favorite hearty salad additions include beans and legumes, avocado, quinoa, sweet potato, and tofu/tempeh. You'll find plenty of inspiration for usingeach of themhere. Be prepared to fall in love with salads again!
