Hey there, salad lover! 🥗💚

​

Spring has finally sprung, and with it comes all the colourful, crisp, and totally crave-worthy produce we’ve been missing all winter long. Easter is the perfect excuse to ditch the heavy casseroles and bring on the fresh flavours—and what better way to do that than with a gorgeous spring salad (or ten)? Whether you're planning a laid-back brunch or a big family Easter dinner, these spring salads are here to steal the spotlight.

A Little Salad Story…

A few years ago, I brought a salad to our family Easter dinner. Not just any salad—one with roasted asparagus, fresh lemon zest, and goat cheese (fancy, I know). I placed it on the table next to the ham and scalloped potatoes, fully expecting it to be ignored. But to my surprise? It was one of the first dishes gone! That’s when I realized a great spring salad isn’t just a side—it’s the kind of dish that gets people talking, asking for the recipe, and going back for seconds.

So if you’re looking to wow your family with something fresh and fabulous, these 10 spring salads from Salads for Lunch will totally do the trick.
