The Best Mouthwatering Spring Salads

Spring salads are my absolute favorite way to incorporate fresh ingredients into my meals! There are so many different options and it can either be the best supporting role or the star of the show!

These recipes are absolutely divine. When you see the variety and how to mix some of these unusual flavors and ingredients together, you will be shocked at how tasty they are! Spring salads have come a long way from plain greens and only a few types of dressing options. I wanted to round up some of my very favorite spring salad recipes! I made sure to include all different kinds of them so that no matter what you are in the mood for, you will definitely find something that you love! Whether it’s a fruit salad, a pasta salad, or a green salad, you really can’t go wrong! Spring salads are not only tasty and delicious but they are gorgeous too. Full of amazing color and flavor, they will be sure to be a hit at any meal or potluck!

Chopping: The fruits and some vegetables can brown and even lose their flavoring once sliced and added into the salad. Because of this, make sure that you don’t cut things up too much berfore serving time! Mixing: You want to be sure to add the dressing to the spring salad at the last minue. In a green salad, dressing can cause it to go soggy if the dressing is on it for too long. In a pasta salad, the pasta absorbs the dressing and you will need to add more if you put it on too soon.Substituting: The great things about spring salads is how versatile you can make them. If you don’t have some of the fruits and veggies that the recipe calls for, see what you have in your fridge or your garden! You can add and take away the ingredients that you prefer and really make it a salad just for you that you absolutely love! Bowl: When you are mixing your salad, don’t underestimate that they get big and fast! Make sure you mix it in a large bowl! Avoid a mess of salad spilling over. When you use a large mixing bowl, none of your ingredients are left at the bottom, unmixed and without any dressing!! You can always transfer it to a smaller serving bowl later!

Making it ahead of time: Prepare and add all the ingredients together and toss in a bowl. Make the dressing and store it seperately. Place them in the refrigerator and mix the salad and the dressing just before serving. The dressing: The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator up to 5 days.Refrigerator: Spring salads are best stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Once the salad is already tossed together with the dressing it will last in the refrigerator 24 hours. Keeping the dressing separate will help the salad last 2 to 3 days longer, however, it is still best fresh.
