15 Quick and Easy Summer Salad Recipes
15 Quick and Easy Summer Salad Recipes- whether you’re looking for a light summer meal or a flavorful dish to bring to a party, these quick and easy summer salads are sure to fit the bill. (vegan, gluten-free and grain-free options)
It’s hard to believe August will soon be coming to an end. For some reason I view it as the last summer month even though fall doesn’t usually arrive until late September. Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking that September will bring cooler temperatures? One can only hope.
Even though we’re on the last leg of summertime, there is still plenty of summer produce left to enjoy. Between that and the fact that it’s too hot to turn the oven on, summer salads are on repeat on the menu in our house.
With that in mind, I’ve put together a round up featuring some of our favorite salads that include summer produce. From ideas to prep for healthy lunches, salads that are filling enough for dinner and options that hold up well for summer gatherings, you are sure to find something everyone will like. All of them are quick and easy to prepare so that you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying what’s left of summertime. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

This post just came in time, as if you read my mind going, “hmm what salads can I make today?” :) Your food photos are gorgeous too! Hope you’re well Sarah.
I’ll definitely be referencing this over the course of the summer! I love a good salad and a glass of wine for dinner after a long day and these have my mouth watering!
I love all these recipes, I am not able to decide which one has to feed me today :). I think the Taco Salad with Chickpea Beef and Salsa-Ranch Dressing is one of the most complete and creative salads I’ve ever seen.
