4 Amazing Summer Salads

Summer always makes me crave light – but also delicious – lunches.   I never like a heavy lunch when it’s so hot outside! These 4 amazing summer salads are perfect for summer – they are hearty enough to be lunch but are all also great as a side dish for dinner.

Southern Broccoli Salad broccolisaladThis broccoli salad is the perfect dish to bring to any potluck, picnic, or dinner!  Crispy broccoli, bacon, cheddar cheese, and red onion all mixed with a delicious creamy dressing.  It’s so summer and so easy!

 

Summer Panzanella panzanella saladThis Summer Panzanella is light, fresh, and perfect for hot weather!  Ripe tomatoes, crusty bread soaked in olive oil and herbs, fresh basil, and mozzarella make this salad delicious!  It just tastes like summer to me.

 

Asian Chicken Salad Asian Chicken SaladI love an Asian Salad but sometimes the carbs and calories can add up.  This Asian Chicken Salad is a lightened up version and is perfect for summer – it’s bright, colorful, and full of flavor!  Add some chopped peanuts, cashews, or fried wonton noodles to the top for some added crunch! 

 

Mixed Green Salad with Fried Goat Cheese and Vinaigrette

This is what I call a fancy salad!   Mixed greens, fried goat cheese rounds, toasted pecans, and a delicious vinaigrette dressing!  It’s perfect as a light lunch or served as a side salad with dinner.

 

Hope you enjoy these 4 salads throughout your summer!
