If you’ve been a vegetarian for a while, I know this has probably happened to you: you’re at a restaurant or maybe someone’s house and they don’t have anything for you to eat, so you end up with a side salad as a meal. And obviously, it’s the thought that counts–I mean, they tried right? But a plate full of lettuce and a stray tomato or two isn’t exactly filling. Well, these aren’t those kinds of salads. These are meal-worthy vegetarian salads! 50 of them! Salads full of vegetables, beans, grains, tofu, and other delicious, satisfying things.
