Easy and Quick Vegetarian Salads Recipes

How do salads come to life in my kitchen? It all starts with a quick scan of my fridge and pantry - spotting veggies and fruits that might not last much longer. Waste is something I’m mindful of, so I prioritize ingredients that need to be used up soon. For me, this approach is part of mindful living (INDIAN VEGETARIAN SALADS).

The vegetarian salad recipes I’m sharing are incredibly easy and adaptable. They incorporate what are traditionally considered Western ingredients, which have become staples in Asian kitchens, including here in Malaysia (TURMERIC EGGS).

These 5 simple vegetarian salads aren’t about fancy dressings. Feel free to add your own, but I prefer to keep mine minimal and budget-friendly. If I want a dressing, I’ll grab whatever I have in my fridge - typically chili sauce, or sometimes mayonnaise. Now, let’s get to the recipes!
