Summer Salads to Get Excited About

Warmer weather means local and seasonal produce will soon be available and salads are a wonderful way to enjoy them. No need for a boring tossed salad that makes my meat eaters turn a lip up at me – salads can be fun and creative. Here are a few of my favourites to make, serve and eat.

 

Chicken Waldorf Salad with Peaches – Canadian Living
This is a great salad to have for dinner. It’s very filling with chicken, but lovely without it too. Summer peaches in place of the traditional apple you normally see in a Waldorf are just so very yummy and a tangy yogurt-based dressing finishes it beautifully. Get the full recipe here.

Tomato Orzo Salad – Canadian Living
I use this one as a side dish often. A fancy pasta salad, it is very pretty and colourful with Heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil. A simple vinaigrette allows the strong flavours of tomato, basil and feta to shine. Get the f
ull recipe here.

Swiss Chard, Strawberry and Feta – Canadian Living
This is delicious for a lunch date with your friends …with maybe a little Pinot Grigio on the side. Chicken goes very nicely with it too if you want to make it a full meal. Get the full recipe here.

Citrus Salad – Ahead of Thyme
This salad is so light and fresh! It’s a great summer side salad and super-fast to make. The main feature is the variety of citrus fruit, and some added avocado, making for a nice balance. It’s guaranteed to brighten up any dinner table and any meal. Get the full recipe here

Blue Cheese Coleslaw - Canadian Living
Coleslaw is a must-have for many at a summer BBQ. While this recipe is fantastic in the summer, I love adding it as a side to a smoky BBQ. It’s great with burgers, steak, chicken… anything your heart desires. Get the full recipe here
