How do I keep salad greens from wilting?
Dressings are often held until serving. Heartier grains and kale salads note massage or rest times that improve texture instead.

Great salads balance texture and timing—crisp greens, weighted toppings, and dressing added when everything hits the bowl.
Chop sizes, dry-greens tips, and protein add-ins keep side salads crisp and main bowls substantial through the last bite.

Frequently asked questions
Are main-course salads included?
Yes. Protein tags—chicken, beans, tofu—combine with salad for filling bowls. Check servings on each recipe.
Can I prep salad components ahead?
Make-ahead tags flag what to chop early versus day-of. Wet ingredients stay separate in many recipes.
