6 Vibrant Salads You'll Actually Want to Eat

Greek-Style Salad with Olive Oil Dressing {10 minute recipe!}

This Greek-Style Salad with Olive Oil Dressing only takes 10 minutes to prepare and is the perfect side for any meal. However, if you want to turn it into a filling salad for lunch or dinner, top with any protein, such as a few strips of roasted chicken or baked fish. While a good Greek salad always includes tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese, if you ask me the most important ingredient is a high-quality olive oil such as Wildly Organic’s Olive Oil. With just a few simple ingredients, this olive oil dressing is full of healthy fats and flavor.

Spring Salad with Roasted Fennel & Coconut Vinaigrette

If you're looking to kick your salad game up a notch, try this Spring Salad with Roasted Fennel & Coconut Vinaigrette for a change. Adding fruits and vegetables to your salads amps up the flavor and nutrition in every bite. Fennel and orange are a perfect match in this salad tossed with a vinaigrette made from Wildly Organic Coconut Syrup, Wildly Organic Coconut Vinegar, and Wildly Organic Olive Oil.

Cucumber & Blueberry Quinoa Salad with Blood Orange Vinaigrette {gluten-free, vegan}

This Cucumber & Blueberry Quinoa Salad with Blood Orange Vinaigrette may be a little different than your typical salad as it doesn't contain a lettuce base. Instead, this is a quinoa salad filled with cucumber, blueberries, and feta! Quinoa is packed with fiber and nutrients which makes it a great base for a salad. You'll love this refreshing blood orange vinaigrette that is made from fresh blood oranges, Wildly Organic Olive Oil, Wildly Organic Coconut Syrup, and Wildly Organic Coconut Vinegar. It's light and vibrant!

Roasted Pumpkin Salad With Pumpkin Seed Pesto Dressing

Roasted Pumpkin Salad With Pumpkin Seed Pesto Dressing isn't only for eating during the Fall season. You can use pumpkin, butternut squash or even a sweet potato to make this hearty salad. Your favorite squash gets roasted in Wildly Organic Centrifuge Extracted Coconut Oil for a comforting salad that will fill you up. Topped with a pumpkin seed pesto dressing made from Wildly Organic Soaked & Dried Pumpkin Seeds, you can't go wrong with this salad. Of course, if you'd like to add more protein, roasted chicken would be delicious on top, too!

Clean-Eating Olive Oil & Coconut Vinegar Massaged Kale Salad

This colorful, Clean-Eating Olive Oil & Coconut Vinegar Massaged Kale Salad is great as a side dish or topped with protein to make a complete meal. Topped with cucumber, dried cranberries, and Wildly Organic Soaked & Dried Walnuts, this salad is as delicious as it looks! The trick to eating kale in a salad is to massage the kale before using. Since kale is tough, massaging the greens helps to soften the leaves and results in a beautiful green color. It only takes a few minutes to massage kale with Wildly Organic’s Olive Oil and Wildly Organic Himalayan Pink Salt. Trust me, you won't regret it!
