The 24 Best Fall Salad Recipes for Every Meal

Fall is the time to enjoy warm, hearty and nourishing meals, and luckily, the season is loaded with a bounty of delicious vegetables. However, meals can get heavier and heavier as we head into the holiday season, so it’s a great idea to incorporate some salad recipes into your weekly meal plan. These salads are anything but boring and, paired with your favorite homemade dressing, they make for the perfect addition to any fall table. Just take this beauty, for example. Delicata squash gets delightfully caramelized when roasted, which brings out a sweet flavor and sticky texture. The skin is tender enough to eat, so there’s no need to peel it beforehand. Layered over greens, sweetened up with pomegranate seeds and boating a crunchy texture from roasted pepitas, this salad is one you’ll make all season long.

Kohlrabi and apple make for a winning combination in this refreshing salad. Roasted sunflower seeds add extra crunch, and the whole thing comes together in just 15 minutes. It’s the perfect weeknight salad for a fall day.

Butternut squash is one of the best parts of fall, and we’ll take any excuse to add it into our weeknight recipes. This warm, nourishing salad is made with roasted butternut squash, arugula, walnuts and dried cranberries. It’s sweet, salty and hearty, so it makes for a great addition to your fall table. Bring it to your next potluck or “friendsgiving” celebration.

Shaving Brussels sprouts is a fun way to enjoy the hearty vegetable, and even haters will appreciate how easy they are to enjoy when shaved. Toss this hefty salad in a homemade citrus and shallot vinaigrette, then top with chopped hazelnuts and diced pecorino.
