When you talk about salads, you automatically think they are healthy, right? Well, they are healthier than main meals that’s for sure. But, what’s even healthier are the vegan salad recipes we’re sharing today.

They are fresh, meat free and perfect for light dinners at home.

All you need is fresh produce from your local grocery store or farmer’s market, beyond the drive to actually shop for the items and prep them.

No need for you to spend the extra buck buying commercialized and profit margin made salads. Try these instead!
