Salad lovers must have their own kitchen garden to make things easier for them. This will also help in consuming the salad as fresh as we want and it would taste great. The colour of the salad will be vibrant because of the freshness and it would be appealing to eyes and stomach. Moreover one would consume no preservative or harmful pesticides as you will go organic.

So the 20 plants salad lovers must grow are as follows:

1.    Amaranth- spinach substitute that grows remarkably well in warm, humid weather

2.    Arugula- popular mixed salad green with a pleasant, peppery kick

3.    Asian greens ?- tasty family that includes the bold mizuna, spinach-like tatsoi and others

4.    Beans - delicious (and healthy!) ingredient in hearty, filling salads

5.    Borage - produces edible, cucumber-flavored flowers

6.    Broccoli ?- a single serving has about twice as much vitamin C as an orange

7.    Cauliflower ?- pale cousin of broccoli with similar health benefits and taste

8.    Celery ?- rich with fiber, easy way to add more texture to a salad

9.    Chard - top superfood, often included in premade salad mixes

10. Cress - recently ranked as the most nutrient dense food

11. Cucumbers - iconic summer crop, increase the cool, crisp factor of any salad

12. Kale ?- packed with iron, often shredded to make a simple salad

13. Lettuces - with so many interesting varieties to choose from, you could easily grow a lettuce-only Tower Garden! (And some people do.)

14. Mustard greens - like lettuce, a pretty big family that includes several delicious, spicy varieties

15. Nasturtium - edible flower with a peppery, cress-like flavor, doubles as natural pest control

16. Peas - sweet, snap varieties often added to salads

17. Spinach - perhaps the most popular salad ingredient next to lettuce, very sensitive to heat

18. Strawberries - delightful topping if you like sweet salads

19. Sweet peppers - enliven salads with color and crunch

20. Tomatoes - bursting with flavor, cherry tomatoes are a popular variety for salads
