Main Course Salads

Who says that a salad can be the main attraction of a meal? Here is a collection of Main Course Salads that prove otherwise. From classics like Easy Salad Niçoise, Tabouli Salad, Italian Potato Salad and Greek Salad to meat lovers salads like Carne Asada Steak Salad. There are also some delicious, off-beat salad recipes like this Muffuletta Panzanella, a riff on the classic Muffuletta Sandwich, Seafood Pasta Salad (a favorite in our house!), or this Mexican Street Corn Salad. And if you like grain salad bowl recipes, be sure to check these out: Smoked Salmon Salad; Greek Farro Salad; and Summer Farro Salad (which is also vegan).
