This is a great list! Being new to this vegan scene, these salads really appeal to me and is a great start. Thank you for sharing!

Love the flavours, flexibility and feasting! I love using spiralised veggie "pasta" as a lighter option but probably not ahead of time. Thankyou for your inspirations and your flavourites.

I've been on a roll, making a Sylvia salad a week for the past few weeks. I've got the fourth one from this list picked out for tomorrow. WOW! Everything here is so good! My husband loves them too!

I have returned to this post multiple times when seeking inspiration for lunches. I'm going to work my way through every one of these salads!

Hi Sylvia,
I made a couple of your recipes and loved them. I especially enjoyed the roasted cauliflower salad. Thank you very much for sharing the wonderful recipes!

Such a delicious and easy lunch! I didn’t have celery on hand so I subbed sliced purple cabbage. I’ll definitely make this again.

So delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!

I have never tried this ingredient have lots Pecans.  I gathered them.  so will try with those.   Thank you Joseph

This salad is so perfectly balanced, I can’t quite put it into words. Some sweetness from the carrot, some tang in the dressing, grounded by the roasted almonds and all whilst still feeling light. This is definitely going to be one of my new staples! Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been spot on. Thank you Sylvia!

I love this salad... the vinaigrette really makes it sing! I'm enjoying all of your recipes Sylvia... so very grateful to have found your site. It's helpful to me as I segue from pescatarian to vegan.

I'm working my way through your lunch recipes, and haven't met any I don't care for yet :).  My girls want school lunches that don't have to be warmed up.  This is another good, hearty lunch for all of us.  Love the flavors!  Thank you :).

Such a fresh tasty salad ❤️
Delicious 😋

Hey I love the recipie I was just wondering how much this makes so I can get the right amount of ingredients.

Thank you so much Sylvia that’s great to know

Wonderful recipe and the result is a very very tasting salad. A new favorite for sure!

I did not had almonds in my pantry but found a bag of walnuts and used them instead. That worked well too! The all spice was missing too, so after a quick google I made my own.
 I have to say, adding all spice really lifts the salad to another level! Yum!

Now let’s see how my family likes it when I serve it tonight!

Did you change the dressing up a little bit? I've made this a kajillion times and have never noticed it had dijon mustard in it.

This salad is a family favorite.

Another one of your recipes I will be making again! Very tasty and perfect as is.

This salad makes a very satisfying lunch thanks to the thickness of raw kale leaves and the fiber in beans. If you choose not to add beans, it can be served as a dinner side salad to accompany any dinner entree!

Easy Kale and White Bean Salad with Ginger-Miso Dressing (vegan!) | Episode 14

If you're looking for a dish that's crunchy, fresh, and comforting all at once... well, you've found it! Combining baked sweet potato, roasted chickpeas, and fresh veg drizzled in a zingy citrus dressing, this nourishing salad is the perfect cosy autumn side.

Sweet Potato &amp; Roasted Chickpea Salad

[For roasting:]

potato,

olive oil, divided

smoked paprika, divided

cumin, divided

turmeric

Salt and pepper, to season

chickpeas,

almonds, roughly chopped (optional)

[For the salad:]

quinoa

cucumber, sliced

red onion, finely diced

cranberries

basil leaves

[For the dressing:]

tahini

lime

water

parsley

Salt and pepper,

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Place the sweet potato on the tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then spread out in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the chickpeas with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

Remove the tray from the oven, add the chickpeas, and gently toss everything together. Return to the oven and roast for a further 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle over the almonds to toast lightly.

While the vegetables are roasting, add the quinoa, cucumber, red onion, dried cranberries, and basil leaves to a large bowl.

To make the dressing, blend or whisk together the tahini, lime juice, water, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Once the roasted vegetables and almonds are ready, add them to the salad bowl. Pour over the dressing, toss well to combine, and serve immediately.
