Living in the South, when summer comes, I’m not in the mood for meat and potatoes. Breakfast is fruit or smoothies, dinner is something on the grill, and for lunch I love a good salad. Not only can I take advantage of fresh garden produce that we’ve got in our vegetable garden, but I can take advantage of cheaper prices on seasonal produce. Here are 15 easy summer salad recipes that I like to make when the weather is warm. Sometimes I make a big batch and keep them in the fridge for lunch for the week, but they also make great options to take to a cookout or party!
