Summertime is salad time. Whether it's for a picnic, supper side dish, or a light and easy at-home meal, these swoon-worthy summer salads are sure to be a highlight of your season of sunshine.
Greek Salad
A fresh Greek Salad will go well with almost anything else you're serving this summer. The crisp romaine lettuce and cool cucumber provide the perfect base for the flavourful red onion, black olives, bell peppers, tomatoes and feta cheese. Top it off with a tangy dressing made from olive oil, oregano, lemon juice and black pepper and you've got yourself a classic summer salad.
BBQ Chickpea and Grilled Nectarine Salad
You may have never thought of combining chickpeas and grilled nectarines in a salad -- or grilling nectarines for that matter, but once you try this BBQ Chickpea and Grilled Nectarine Salad, you may have a new summer favourite. The sweetness of the nectarines really shines through once they are lightly charred. This recipe can be made on a grill or with a grill pan, right in your kitchen.
Easy Pasta Salad
Summertime should be all about taking it easy. This Easy Pasta Salad makes a cool and satisfying summer meal, without much work at all. It's tossed with a tangy vinaigrette that goes great with feta cheese, protein-packed chickpeas, pine nuts, cucumber and fresh basil. This picnic-perfect salad can be made in advance and chilled in the fridge until you're ready to go.
Keto Broccoli Salad
This Keto Broccoli Salad tastes great fresh, but may be even better the next day. It's perfect for picnics or meal prep. It's loaded with broccoli, shredded cheddar, toasted almonds, red onion, chives and crumbled bacon. For a vegetarian option, simply swap out the bacon with sliced or diced avocado.
We hope you give these fabulous summer salads a try this summer.
