Five white bowls containing various salads on a wooden table. Cutlery, napkins, and glasses can also be seen on the table.

Are you looking for a main course salad recipe?  I’ve compiled this list of 10 salads that look more than satisfying as a main dish!

When I decided to write this post it was just the beginning of spring and the weather was starting to warm up. It seemed like the perfect time to starting thinking about summer salads. Since then the weather has done a complete u turn!

We have not seen the sun over the last couple of days because it has been raining constantly! So rather than being warm and spring-like it has actually been cold, wet and miserable! We can’t do anything outside because the rain won’t let up. Worse still they’re predicting this type of whether to continue for the rest of spring!

I will push on though and continue dreaming of spring! I’ll just have to imagine some warm sunny weather while I share these yummy salads!

Often when we think of salads we think of a side dish that is used to accompany something more filling. But I’ve been dreaming of enjoying some salads that are more than just a side dish.  That is why I’ve compiled this list of salads that are definitely fit for a main course!

To see each recipe you can either click on the image to open it in Pinterest or just follow the direct link.
