There's something about the longer nights, the sun peeking out from the clouds, and flowers popping up from the ground that just makes us crave salads. Call it a return to our New Year's resolutions. Call it the realization that summer (and swimsuits) are fast approaching. Just plain call it a good time to stuff our faces with the freshest of veggies.

We love salads because we can put whatever we want on them and know that no matter what, we're eating our vegetables. Plus, there aren't many foods we can put into a giant bowl and still feel good about after consuming. There's a reason why Seinfeld devoted a whole plot line to the big salad.

Whether you like your salads on the side or front and center, we've gathered 13 of our very best for you to make today. You won't regret it.
