Summer Salads: Share Your Fave Recipes!

In summary, some popular ingredients for summer salads include fresh fruits like berries and watermelon, vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes, and proteins like grilled chicken or shrimp. To elevate a summer salad, you can try unique dressing recipes like a honey lime vinaigrette or a cilantro lime dressing. To make a summer salad more filling, add grains, nuts or seeds, and avocado. You can also be creative with how you serve a summer salad, such as making it in a mason jar or serving it in a hollowed out watermelon or pineapple. To prevent a summer salad from becoming soggy, add dressing right before serving and toss well, or layer the ingredients in a specific order.

With summer coming, I am looking for some salad recipe recommendations. What are your favs? Can you share the recipe?

Thanks!
 
Wendy,
I'd suggest getting the Super Salads Recipe Cards #2841 for only $5. You could get it with your kit enhancement for a discount if you wanted.

Also...check out the PC consultant website under recipe searches. I'd put in keyword Salad and see what comes up.
 
chicken curry stir-fry saladWendy,
I made the Chicken Curry Stir-fry Salad a few weeks ago and really liked it. The combinations of the curry spice and fruits and veggies was suprisingly very delicious. The recipe is in the new Spring/Summer 2005 Seasons' Best recipe book. Happy Cooking!
