Gluten-Free Salads That Feel Like a Meal

Start with a base of mixed greens or baby spinach.

Add grilled chicken breast, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss in some black beans and a sprinkle of feta cheese. For dressing? Olive oil, lime juice, and a touch of cumin tie it all together. Why it works: Healthy fats from the avocado and protein from the chicken and beans help keep you satisfied longer.

2. Quinoa & Roasted Veggie Salad

Quinoa is a naturally gluten-free grain that brings a slightly nutty taste and hearty texture. Roast up a batch of vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes. Toss it all with quinoa, baby kale, and a tahini-lemon dressing. Meal tip: Make a big batch — it holds up well for meal prep throughout the week.
