8 warm salad recipes under 500 calories

A big salad is a great way to get your daily dose of veggies and the nutrients your body needs. Plus, it makes summertime meal prep a breeze. But salads don’t have to be a one-season meal. Enjoy the flavors of dark greens and in-season veggies, even after the autumn chill sets in.

Fall fruits and veggies, like beets, Brussels sprouts, apples, and pears make tasty additions to your salad. And they’re even better served warm. “Grilling is great for fall fruits and veggies,” says Tammy Baranowski, RDN, a registered dietitian in Orange Park, Florida. “You can broil them, roast them, and if you're in a time pinch, you can just sauté them on top of the stove.”
