Bravo stars such as Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi, Quad Webb, and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave share their favorite power salads, two-minute salads, and more.
Bravolebrities don't always keep it clean — at least not where their diets are concerned. In the past, they've tempted us with pizza, stirred up taco cravings, and given us some serious pasta envy. But some Bravo personalities also have a way of making salad look downright delicious, and we're rounding up some of the most inspiring veggie-loaded dishes they've posted, below.
From the chicken-walnut salad that Nene Leakes loves to Jazmin Johnson's simple mix of chicken and mixed greens to Quad Webb's homemade salmon salad, there are goods in here that are packed with protein. For vegetarians, Tamra Judge and Bethenny Frankel both have tips for dishes that are easy to whip up at home. And if you only have two minutes to spare, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave has your lunchtime covered with a recipe that's done in seconds flat.
Keep on scrolling, and something magical just might occur: You might start dreaming about kale and quinoa instead of french fries and hot dogs. Hey, stranger cravings have happened ...
Nene Leakes' "Favorite" Chicken Salad
The Real Housewives of Atlanta OG once took to Twitter to proclaim a certain chicken salad "the bomb.com."

If you ask us, that's a pretty solid endorsement.

GG also shared the exact recipe for her go-to salad: It's kale or arugula mixed with chopped pears or apples, steamed yellow beets, baby broccoli, mustard seeds, extra virgin olive oil, a dash of rice vinegar, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. The new mom promised it's "amazingly delicious."

"Vegetarian life," Tamra captioned the snap.
