To me, salads are a great way to add veggies to your day, to clean out your refrigerator and put leftovers to good use, and to pack in a lot of nutrients in a single meal. They are easy to customize, simple to make, a great option regardless of your nutrition goals, and a food I hope we can redeem after it has been clouded by diet culture.
