50 tasty salad recipes
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, global cooking trends were showing an uptick in people cooking at home. Gallup and Cookpad's latest report published Dec. 17, 2020, showed that through 2019, a growing number of people around the world were cooking at home rather than going out or eating pre-cooked meals.
In the U.S., the swelling popularity of at-home meal prep subscriptions from Blue Apron to Hello Fresh! and the growing prevalence of grocery delivery underscore a renewed interest in prepping meals at home. Then as COVID-19 spread, mandatory restaurant shutdowns and capacity limits drove a dramatic jump in home cooking—not to mention demand for recipes and sales of things like yeast and kitchen appliances.
One of the most ubiquitous-yet-overlooked dishes is the salad. Too often perceived as mundane, unfortunately relegated to precursors or add-ons to culinary focal points, there are actually no limits for what can go into a salad and no rules about whether the salad be considered an appetizer or main course. To help diversify your salad palate, Stacker compiled a list of salad recipes from Allrecipes. Keep reading to learn new ways of considering this most central dish.
