Salads aren’t just for summer. These fall salad recipes are bursting with all the flavors of fall!
According to Ayurveda medicine, it’s important to eat nutrient-dense meals that are warming and grounding to support your body’s transition into the cooler weather. So even though we love the cozy comfort foods when the cold weather rolls around, it’s nice to mix in something a little bit lighter now and then.
Seasonal produce is the star of these fall salads. Fall foods like squash, apples, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins have these fall salads bursting with flavor and are a bit hardier than a summer salad. You’ll be looking forward to your next healthy meal!
These salads are great for lunch at home or as a showstopping side dish for a fall gathering, like Thanksgiving.

ADAPTOGENIC MISO-TAHINI SALAD DRESSING TO BOOST IMMUNITY
Here we’re using a blend of medicinal mushrooms as they’re adaptogenic powerhouses that give a major upgrade to the dressing itself. The ones used within this recipe are immune-modulators, meaning they regulate and help maintain a healthy immune response. They’re also able to slow the progression of acute and chronic illnesses. I often opt for Reishi and Cordyceps as I just love sprinkling it onto everything!
