7 big and bold veggie-boosting salads to serve as meals

Gone are the days when boring old salads with a spritz of dressing will do! Instead, we’re talking big, bold salads that serve as more than a meagre side dish. Double up on the veg because salads have never tasted so good! We recommend ditching the tedious veggie prep – head straight to the frozen section because McCain frozen vegetables are the real gem of any nutrient-rich, veggie-loaded salad.

Here are seven recipes to try:

Roasted cauliflower salad with pumpkin and butter bean hummus sprinkled with dukkah

This salad ticks all the boxes and prep’s a dream with McCain Pumpkin Chunks and McCain Cauliflower Florets.

Beet, avo and pea salad

A vibrant green salad that’s just perfect for that steadfast packet of McCain Garden Peas you have in your freezer.

Low-carb salad jars

These are perfect for an on-the-go veggie-loaded salad meal option.

Roasted cauliflower and hazelnut salad with honey-mustard vinaigrette

The perfect balance between wholesome vegetables, nutty crunch and sweet-honey pops.

Spicy miso aubergine and broccoli salad

Umami flavours from the miso really make this special – not to mention super-tasty! Whip this delicious salad up in a jiffy by using McCain Broccoli Florets.

Roasted butternut salad

This is the OG when it comes to roasted veg salads.

Spiced cauliflower salad

Just when you thought you’d had enough cauliflower, this salad came along and, boy, do we love a good cauli recipe, especially when McCain Cauliflower Florets are involved!
