Chilled Asian Salad

This chilled salad features a homemade sesame ginger vinaigrette plus low-carb noodles and tons of veggies. It can easily be made ahead of time, too, and can be served on a bed of spinach when you're ready to eat.

Avocado Ranch Salad with Roasted Chickpeas

This flavorful salad is loaded with fresh veggies and crunchy roasted chickpeas and is tossed in a creamy, low-fat avocado ranch dressing. It may be a salad, but it’s packed full with protein and healthy fats and is such a filling, satisfying meal!

Taco salad is one of those meals that’s reserved for days when you don’t really feel like cooking, but you know you shouldn’t order Postmates yet again. I spruced this everyday taco salad up with two special elements—a homemade honey chipotle vinaigrette and pickled relish!
