Who else is coping with high humidity? Elevated summer temperatures? That summery "I'm so busy relaxing I just don't want to work on a big meal" feeling?
Count me in!
So, today's post is simple: if you're anything like me, you're a huge fan of salads. Light, easy but flavourful. There's no reason it has to seem like "rabbit food," as one of my brothers used to call it.
Here's my contribution to your palate: seven summer salads I came across while catching up on the Beachbody blog. My mouth is watering...how's yours?
If you’ve never tried ripe summer peaches and tomatoes together, you’re
in for a treat! These two ingredients make a perfect sweet and savory
pair. In this recipe, they get extra zing from feta cheese and fresh
mint.
Sweet blueberries and strawberries make this salad burst with summer
flavor, while orange bell pepper and almonds give it a satisfying
crunch. A tangy homemade vinaigrette makes it taste gourmet!
This version of a Greek Salad has
everything to love about this classic dish—refreshing tomato and
cucumber, crunchy bell pepper, olives, and feta.
Have your croutons and eat them too with this lighter version of Caesar
salad that’s high in protein but low in calories. Pair it with this creamy lemon Caesar dressing and use leftover cooked chicken to make this meal in minutes.
This recipe is a fantastic way to eat the sweet, juicy
peaches that are filling the farmers markets right now. Slice them and
toss with some peppery arugula, fresh mozzarella, and a drizzling of
good balsamic vinegar.
Blackberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all
fruits, and their seeds are packed with fiber. We’re used to seeing
them in oatmeal and baked goods, but did you ever think to add them to a
salad?
We love sweet and tart dried cranberries paired with creamy avocado
in this delicious salad. Poppy seeds give it extra texture and peppery
flavor.
Try them out and let me know what your favourite is!!
