Of course, you already know that isn’t true, but that doesn’t mean that vegans don’t enjoy a nice salad every so often—albeit one that is exciting and packed full of flavor and nutrition. Here are some vegan salad recipes to be proud of.
Vegan Cobb Salad
Good for both lunch and dinner, vegan Cobb salad takes all of the best parts of a California classic—healthy greens, juicy tomato, creamy avocado, and red wine vinaigrette—and adds vegan substitutes for the bacon, chicken, eggs, and cheese that give the salad much of its protein punch.
Chopped Kale Power Salad
Any salad with “power” in the name is sure to pack a punch and the Chopped Kale Power Salad recipe by She Likes Food is certainly no exception. Packed with kale, sweet potato, avocado, chickpeas, almonds, dried cranberries, and red onion and topped with a lemon tahini dressing that is very easy to make, this will hot all of the spots.
Black Bean Taco Salad

Veggie Inspired’s recipe for black bean taco salad is quick to make but doesn’t skimp on the flavor or texture.
