5 Refreshing Summer Salads
June 6, 2023Summer is a great time to detox from your cooped-up wintertime habits and start fresh. And during hot days, a light and cool meal is a welcome treat. With all this in mind, we’re pronouncing this the Summer of the Salad! Here are some of our favorite, most refreshing salad ideas:
Greek Salad
Vine-ripened tomatoes take the place of leafy greens in this recipe. With briny olives, fresh oregano, and plenty of feta, each bite is heaven!

Caesar Salad
This one’s an oldie but a goodie. Keep plenty of farm-fresh lettuce in your fridge so you can whip up a quick Caesar anytime. Just add chicken, tomatoes, and a simple lemon juice dressing! Parmesan shavings take it to a whole ‘nother level of deliciousness.

Italian Pasta Salad
Did you know that when pasta is cold, you’re legally allowed to call it a salad? We’ll be taking advantage of that fact for the rest of the summer, thank you very much. Mix cooked noodles with pesto, mozzarella, and sundried tomatoes for a nourishing meal after beachin’ all day.
