Hi ,
Did you catch my Summer Dinner Ideas post a few weeks back? In it, I wrote about my love of summer cooking.
When so many fresh fruits and veggies are
- juicy,
- vibrant,
- and bursting with flavor,
cooking is easy. This peak-season produce does the work for you!
My Summer Lunch Solution
So at this time of year, a big, beautiful salad becomes my go-to lunch. It's easy to toss together, it shows off seasonal bounty, and it's energizing, nourishing, and fresh.
Plus, if you make the right salad, the leftovers pack up nicely for meals all week. What's not to love?
Here are few summer salads I've been making on repeat:
orzo Salad
Feta, olives, and a zingy Greek dressing fill this salad with bold flavor. It packs up perfectly if you make it ahead of time. Just save the herbs to add at the last minute!

healthy taco Salad
Shiitake walnut taco "meat," crispy tortilla strips, and cilantro lime dressing? Just thinking about this recipe is making me hungry!

niçoise Salad
In this vegetarian spin on a Niçoise salad, briny artichoke hearts and white beans step in for the traditional tuna. A light lemon vinaigrette ties it all together.

caesar salad
Need an easy way to use all those early summer greens? Make a Caesar salad! My Greek yogurt dressing is way less fussy than the classic kind, but it's just as tangy and delicious.

mediterranean Chickpea SAlad
Earthy goat cheese and sweet Medjool dates create a delectable contrast in this colorful salad. If you like, top it off with a few roasted chickpeas for crunch.
