The Best Vegetarian Chopped Salad! As a meat lover – this salad hits the spot and it is an easy and filling plant-based addition to your salad rotation.
OMG THIS SALAD!!! I never in a million years thought I would love a vegetarians salad.
I am a huge meat lover. Chicken, lamb, salmon, beef, anything!! I am not someone who eats vegetarian anything and feels satisfied. But this salad mash up – it is beyond good fam. It is one of the best veggie loaded bowls you can make and the dressing itself is delectable. I always make a huge batch of it and keep it in the fridge on hand. Not to mention it’s amazing to marinate chicken too.
I hope you guys love this salad as much as I do. Keep me posted if you make it!!

Other ways to customize this salad for your liking:
- You can toss any desired mix-in’s you want here. And of course if you want to add protein to the mix – go for it!! This would be so good with grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs and some wild salmon too.
- If cilantro isn’t your thing, use any other dressing you love. I also use this one from my Kale + Brussels Sprout Slaw with Honey Mustard Dressing, The Best Winter Kale Salad to Make or The Best Healthy Classic Caesar Salad
- If you want to prep this ahead of time, I recommend dressing right before eating!
