20 Fresh and Vibrant Vegan Springtime Salads from some of your favorite vegan bloggers. Plus two extra recipes thrown in for good measure.
Hello spring, welcome back!
Robins and cardinals are everywhere, purple crocuses are dotting the flowerbeds, and daffodil and tulips are almost ready to bloom. It’s time to prep your flowerbeds and boxes, seed your gardens, and take a deep long breath of the fresh spring air. Ahhh…..
This is the time of year that makes me crave salads. Salads filled with lots of greens and colorful veggies, and even fruit. How about you? Do you think that spring and salads go hand in hand? How could they not? Spring is all about watching nature come back to life, and salads are symbolic of everything that is light, and fresh, and happy, and healthy.
To celebrate the beauty of this new season, I’m sharing a collection of some of the most vibrant and delicious salads around the web. So grab a fork and let’s dig in.
