The harsh truth is that salads can get real sad, real fast. After we've spent our Sundays bulk-prepping baked veggies, cooked grains, chopped nuts, and more, there is only so much energy left for creative flourishes — especially as we fling ourselves headfirst into Monday. So, inevitably, we end up eating the same variation all week long.
But let's not allow boring salads get the best of us! It's springtime after all, a time to be adventurous and feel alive; So why not take a trip around the globe with us? Ahead we've rounded up ten tasty salads scaling the multi-cuisine landscape; All are easy, festive, and require little to no actual cooking.
