Here you’ll find my favorite fall salads packed full of seasonal produce like crisp apples, squash, kale and more! Take advantage of the autumn harvest with these salad recipes.
I’m sure you’re aware of my salad obsession by now, but did you know that fall is my absolute favorite season for salads?!
Indeed! I love spring salads (like this amazing asparagus salad or this light strawberry spinach salad) and I definitely go crazy for summer salads (like my Mexican street corn salad or this caprese salad), but fall salads are simply the best. I’m talking big salads with flavorful fall farmer’s market finds like dark leafy greens, crisp apples, root veggies and roasted kabocha squash. Swoon!
Fall salads will always reign supreme in my book. That’s why I created this little roundup with some of the best fall salads.
I personally want to host a fall harvest salad party and make them all. Who wants to come?
