Best Summer Salads and Dressings

With summer in full swing, I decided to put together a collection of our most popular, most tasty summer salads and dressings.

We primarily eat salads and grilled meat and fish during the summer season. Olivia once said, when she was very young, “Why do we eat pasta in winter and salad in summer?”

I guess I didn’t realize how much of a summer routine we got into each year!

Still, I do love a good side salad, or even a complete dinner salad any day of the week. 

Best Summer Salads and Dressings, interesting additions.

Some of my favourite additions to my summer salads, are dried fruits like apricots, dried cranberries and raisins. Nuts and seed mixtures also make regular appearances in our salads.

Chop the apricots into small chunks.

 

Roasted cashew nuts.

Unsalted roasted cashew nuts, roughly chopped are another favourite addition to many salads.

I particularly like roasted unsalted cashews, almonds or pecans. The crunch with the chewy dried fruits is very satisfying.

I also love small cubes of different cheeses in summer salads. Feta, parmesan, smoked cheddar and blue cheese are some of my most used.

So go ahead and try something different or just a new flavour combination for an old g=favourite. You’re sure to find some interesting and delicious ideas in this collection.
