49 healthy vegetarian salads for you to try

Have you always wanted to incorporate more healthy salads in your vegetarian diet? Have you wondered how you can make salads easily using everyday ingredients?

Being a vegetarian myself, I love making salads almost everyday. These healthy and easy vegetarian salads are either a big part of my meal or my entire meal by themselves. Hearty grain based or protein rich salads are especially satisfying. One bowl of such a salad is a balanced meal by itself.
