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!

Add more salt, pepper and vinegar to taste.

Sprinkle in the cayenne and optional allspice.

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!
