High-Protein Lunch & Dinner Salad Recipes
HG Tip: Don't get caught trying to cram a big salad into a too-small bowl. Good-sized salad bowls like these are essential to easy mixing without flinging lettuce all over the place.
Crazy for Cobb Salad
Cobb salads are loaded up with protein, thanks to chicken, bacon, eggs, and blue cheese. Our recipe keeps the quantities in check for the more decadent ingredients without sacrificing on flavor.
Greek Salad in a Jar
Not only is this salad packed with protein, it's also designed to be prepped ahead of time and taken on the go. Pack up the ingredients accordingly, and when it's mealtime, just shake the jar or empty it all into a bowl. This calls for a fresh set of extra-large mason jars.
Crispy Chicken Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing
Something about honey mustard gives us ‘90s throwback vibes in the best possible way. You don't have to dust off your old grunge gear (unless you want to) to enjoy the classic flavors in this salad.
Grilled Chicken Caprese Salad
This recipe takes inspiration from the classic fresh flavors of an Italian Caprese salad of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil, and then expands upon it to make it a full-on meal. Because you KNOW how we feel about a big bowl of chicken-topped greens.
Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad
Crispy faux-fried chicken, tangy hot sauce, creamy cheese, and fresh veggies—this big ol' salad has everything you crave! It’s the kind of salad we make when we want fast food, but we know we need something more wholesome…
Top of the Chops BBQ Chicken Salad
Finally, the list wouldn't be complete without a BBQ chicken salad. This recipe is full of flavor and fun ingredients—sweet corn! tortilla chips! jicama!—and it's an all-time HG favorite. We'll never get sick of this classic.
