Detox Salad:
This is the best one in the list if you are planning to shed some extra kilos alongside rinsing some toxins out of the body. All you need to do is to take fruits, nuts, grains,cauliflower head, a bunch of kale, red cabbage, red onion, carrots, cilantro, raisins, sunflower seeds and all the healthy vegan goodness together. You don’t need to cook, fry or bake anything for that matter. Every fruit and vegetable inside it goes raw and full of health. Just shred them all in food processor. You can top it off with avocado dressing if you need some healthy fats in it.
BTL Chopped Salad:
This is always your one last bet whenever the summer is passing away. And if it summers in full glory, you couldn’t get a better option for lunch than this. Take creamy feta, sweet corn, crumbly arugula, lettuce and chopped avocado with a generous amount of butter to make this salad. For a light and fresh lunch, mix them all together and make a lemon dressing by mixing lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to sprinkle on top.
Mediterranean Salad:
This salad is made from bright Mediterranean vegetables all tossed together into light vinegar with cheese, basil and feta. Take onions, tomatoes, cheese, drained onions, basil, and pepper to make it. Toss them all into the bowl and season with kosher salt and few grinds of black pepper.
Classic Creamy Vinaigrette Salad:
It is a classic salad, it means that you need to toss whatever vegetables and fruits you want and available as per season into the bowl. But, the secret to the success of this yummiest salad lies on its dressing. A creamy protein dose from chickpeas with lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar are all blended together to the finest pour to make Vinaigrette as the dressing. The dressing alone is enough to make you drool over it.
Green Salad:
As the name suggests, it is the freshness and power rack of greens combined together in the summer season. In other words, it is called a green quinoa salad in which thoroughly hand massaged kale is used with cooked quinoa. What goes other than quinoa are fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, unsweetened plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, kale – ribs removed + finely chopped, and scallions. The basil leaves are used to make light and creamy dressing.
