Baked tofu or shrimp can be used instead of the chicken. 08 of 15 No-Cook Black Bean Salad View Recipe A classic black bean salad is a must for picnics and potlucks. This vegan version gets its creaminess from blended avocado.

The dressing gets made in the same bowl that the salad is tossed in, so the greens absorb every bit of flavor. 12 of 15 Radish, Celery & Cucumber Salad View Recipe Eva Kolenko It's worth using that special bottle of olive oil and seeking out Parmigiano-Reggiano, which is bolder than basic Parm, for this simple salad. Use a mandoline to shave the veggies if you have one. 13 of 15 Vegetarian Chopped Power Salad with Creamy Cilantro Dressing View Recipe Brie Passano Cilantro adds color and flavor when blended to make a creamy dressing.
