Labor Day weekend is almost here! You’ve worked hard all year and certainly earned an extra day to enjoy friends, family and – of course – food.

This year, why not consider carrying in something colorful and nutritious to share at the holiday cookout? Be so bold as to put aside the common potato salad and coleslaw dishes and opt, instead, for a bowl billowing with vibrant vegetables and emerald greens. We scoured Pinterest to curate a collection of shareable salad recipes that promise to make your potluck contribution stand out this weekend. Double or triple the recipe, depending on the crowd.
