Healthy dinner salads don’t have to be bland or boring. These 6 salad recipes are easy to make, satisfying, and absolutely gorgeous, too!

Well, we are 6 weeks into the new year. Hopefully those of you who made a resolution to eat healthier are still on track. I’ve heard that many people bail out on their healthy eating plan because of healthy recipe boredom. Heck, I bailed for that reason a few times myself. The thing is, eating healthy isn’t torture, and healthy dinner salads can be loaded with flavors and fun colors!

The spiralizer has helped every day vegetables like carrots and zucchini become gorgeous works of salad art. There are vivid colored vegetables that can help brighten up our dinner salads, and adding healthy proteins, nuts, and seeds can deliver a salty crunch right when we need it the most.

Here are 6 healthy, gorgeous dinner salads that we think you will love!

You can save all of the dinner salads as one collection by Pinning this collage to your favorite salad board on Pinterest, or scroll down and click through the links or images individually to see and print out your favorite recipes.

These healthy dinner salads are not only delicious, they're beautiful, too! We think they may almost be too pretty to eat! Get the recipes on basilmomma.com
