About SaladMood

Hi, I’m Irina - the creator of SaladMood.

​

I’m a millennial mom, wife, and immigrant from Moldova, and I’ve loved vegetables and salads since childhood. Living with chronic health issues pushed me to move away from processed foods and toward simple, nourishing meals - and that’s where SaladMood began.

​

SaladMood started from a simple habit: making salads that actually feel satisfying. Not sad side salads. Not complicated recipes. Just real, flavorful salads that can stand on their own as meals or fit easily into everyday life.

 

I focus on simple ingredients, from-scratch dressings, and combinations that are nourishing without being fussy. Many of the recipes here are great for meal prep, busy weeks, or when you want something fresh that still feels filling.

 

You’ll find:

• High-protein salads that work as full meals

• Lentil and bean salads that are hearty and nourishing

• Pasta salads that hold up well for leftovers

• Homemade dressings made from scratch with real ingredients

• Simple toppings and extras that make salads more interesting

 

SaladMood isn’t about perfection or trends - just food that’s practical, enjoyable, and worth making again.

If you’re here for everyday salads that actually taste good, you’re in the right place.

 

 

Happy Salads,
