Some Substitutions for Your Easy Spring Salad

Recipes aren’t one-size-fits-all, so here are some substitutions/suggestions for you to make the perfect recipe!

  • Looking to make it vegan? Leave out the feta and replace the honey with brown sugar or agave syrup.
  • You could use any type of leafy green with this recipe, including head lettuce, spring mix, even kale or arugula!
  • Not a fan of feta? Swap for a little parmesan cheese or goat cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage

Have some leftovers? Store both your dressing and your salad in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. If you have dressed the entire salad, you probably have a few hours before disaster strikes (no one likes a soggy salad). 

Pairing

Since we’re sticking with our spring theme, this salad would pair perfectly with a creamy spring pasta recipe or with chicken cutlets, steak, and roasted potatoes. Looking to add some protein? Add some chicken or tuna to make this a complete meal instead. 

Shelf Live

I highly recommend dressing your salad right before you’re about to serve it, and don’t dress the entire salad, just the individual portions. If you store the salad and dressing separately, they should have a shelf life of about 2-3 days.

My Kitchen Rules to Live By

  • In the words of Bethany Frankel, if you don't love it you don't like it. Find recipes you love, or they're not worth making.
  • Every recipe is really a suggestion; don't be afraid to change something to make it something you love.
  • If you're starting out, don't be afraid to try. The best chefs also had to start with a first dish.
  • Every recipe is best served shared. Find the recipes you love, and share it with those you love.
