Hearty Salads That Eat Like a Meal

When you're craving something lighter but still satisfying, these main dish salads bring the goods. Packed with protein, crunch, and plenty of bold flavor, they’re perfect for lunch, weeknight dinners, or meal prep that actually gets you excited to eat.

Try my colorful Crunchy Ramen Salad with Grilled Chicken—a crowd-pleaser with sweet sesame dressing—or dig into my bold, meaty Italian Grinder Chopped Salad, inspired by the viral sandwich we all secretly love.
