Salad isn't just an intro course to the entree, you know. It can stand alone as a main course on its own. Fill your salad bowl with lots of veggies... or perhaps some meat and cheese and you have a meal!

I don't make main meal salads too often, but when I do, I always enjoy them. I tend to get inspired to throw together salad dinners most often in hot weather. But really, salad recipes can be enjoyed at almost any time of the year.

If salad alone isn't enough to feel like a meal to you, you can always pair it with a sandwich or soup to make it a bit heartier.
