A green salad can be so much more than just lettuce. With the right mix of vegetables, dressing and toppings, it becomes a dish on its own.
The green goddess salad is a perfect example. It’s fresh, crunchy and full of herbs. The creamy green dressing is made with avocado, yogurt and lemon – light yet rich in flavour. Serve it as a side dish or as a healthy lunch with bread on the side.
For a twist on a salad, try the bruschetta with ricotta and peas. It’s not just a starter – the combination of crispy bread, creamy ricotta and sweet peas gives the same freshness and balance as a salad. It’s colourful, simple and ready in minutes.
The baked carrots with pesto add something warm and satisfying. The roasted carrots get a sweet flavour, and the pesto brings a herby, savoury contrast. Serve it with other greens for a vibrant and filling plate.
Green salads don’t have to be boring. These recipes show how colour, texture and freshness can turn even the simplest vegetables into something special.
