The World's Best
Salads & Vegetables

Ranked by the people who eat them — 503 dishes from 114 countries. The best belongs to no salad-bar nation but to Bulgaria: ovcharska salata, the loaded shepherd's salad, Nº 4 of every dish we rank.

Updated July 2026 · Ranked from 14,037 diner ratings

Vegetables are the part of dinner a country improvises with, and the results travel less than its famous mains — which is exactly why the leaderboard surprises. 503 salads and vegetable dishes from 114 countries make the ranking, from cold chopped salads to stuffed peppers and braised greens, and the cold salad turns out to rule the top.

One country owns the summit. Bulgaria places three salads in the global top thirteen — ovcharska salata at Nº 4, snezhanka at Nº 11 and the red-white-and-green shopska at Nº 13 — before any other nation appears. Tunisia's roasted-vegetable houria and mechouia come next, while the famous Greek salad (Nº 453) and Italy's caprese (Nº 1221) rate far below their reputation.

Questions, Answered

Salads and vegetables, frequently asked — answered from 14,037 ratings.

What is the best salad in the world?
By our diners' ratings it's Bulgaria's ovcharska salata, the shepherd's salad piled with tomato, cucumber, ham, cheese and egg, ranked Nº 4 among all dishes. Two more Bulgarian salads, snezhanka and shopska, sit at Nº 11 and Nº 13.
Why is Bulgaria so good at salads?
Bulgarian salads are built on garden tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and the country's tangy sirene cheese, dressed simply and eaten at almost every meal. Three of them (ovcharska, shopska and snezhanka) rank in the global top thirteen, more than any other nation manages in the department.
Which country has the most vegetable dishes?
Italy, with 46 ranked salads and vegetable dishes, ahead of India (39) and Spain (33). But depth isn't the peak: Italy's best is the caprese at Nº 1221, while Bulgaria and Tunisia own the top of the list with far fewer dishes.
What is shopska salad?
Shopska is Bulgaria's national salad: diced tomato, cucumber, pepper and onion under a snowfall of grated sirene cheese, in the white, green and red of the flag. It is the most-reviewed dish in the department and ranks Nº 13 worldwide.
Is Greek salad the best salad?
It's the most famous, but not the highest-rated: horiatiki, the Greek salad of tomato, cucumber, olives and a slab of feta, ranks Nº 453 here, well below the Bulgarian and Tunisian salads at the top. Fame and rating rarely line up in this department.
What vegetable dishes should I try beyond salad?
Look to the eastern Mediterranean's cooked vegetables: Greece's gigandes plaki, giant beans baked in tomato, and yemista, peppers and tomatoes stuffed with rice, plus Turkey's imam bayildi, aubergine braised in olive oil until it collapses. All three rank inside the top five hundred.
