Fresh, simple and vibrant, salads are fuss-free meals that can come together in mere minutes, but if they're not beefed up with plenty of ingredients and a rich, flavorful dressing, often they're not satisfying for a main dish. The key to preparing a hearty salad is opting for hefty add-ins with bold tastes — but you don't need meat to do that.

Rachael's Greek Salad (pictured above) is a colorful take on the classic recipe that can be on the table in less than 15 minutes. Instead of relying on a bed of lettuce for the base of her salad, Rachael fills the plate with fresh vegetables, like juicy tomatoes, cool cucumber, and both crunchy bell and Cubanelle peppers. Traditional kalamata olives offer a salty bite to the salad, while parsley adds brightness. No Greek salad is compete without tangy feta cheese, and Rachael opts for slices of authentic Greek feta for a decadent topping before finishing the dish with a simple red wine vinaigrette. Serve warm pita bread as a hearty accompaniment, and use it to sop up the oregano-laced dressing.
