The Best Luxury Salad Recipes Online

I’m going to be straight with you. Right now, I’m OBSESSED with salads? Why?

For many years, salad for me was a few lettuce leaves, some onion and other bits of leftover veg that was placed on the side of plate, just for a bit of color and an attempt at getting my 11 year old to eat something fresh.

Recently, I had a chef friend over for dinner, and I watched this person whip up the most interesting and delicious salad, right in front of my eyes. I had never thought of salad as the showstopper itself!

Since then, I’ve gone salad mad. Here’s my pick of the best luxury salad recipes I’ve come across online – you’ll never think of salad as just a few tired leaves on the side of a plate again!
