    20 Best Fall Salad Recipes

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These Fall favorite salads will get you excited to eat your vegetables.  There are so many choices that everyone will love including those with protein, fruits, nuts, grains, or squash.   Some of the best that Fall has to offer are in these salad recipes including kale, butternut squash, beets, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, pear, cranberries, pomegranate seeds, nuts, pumpkin seeds, and Brussel sprouts.  Combine any or some of these Fall ingredients for a nutritious and delicious salad.

    It is hard to pick a favorite here so I will let you try them and comment back so I can hear all about the ones you love and cannot wait to make again.  I start the list with two Fall salad recipes I have created and my family enjoys often as either a light lunch or a side dish option.  Start there and you cannot lose.
