Okay, so it’s technically not summer yet, but my mind is fully there. It’s been oh-so sunny and warm here in San Diego lately (though I suppose it is most of the time here). It has definitely discouraged me from cooking (especially since our recent move) because our new condo doesn’t allow for a lot of air flow near the kitchen.
As a result of our toasty home, I’ve been loving the idea of making salads more often. These types of recipes are actually some of my favorite that I share because the unique combos and homemade dressings are shockingly delicious.
To highlight some of my favorites, here’s a little roundup of salads that I’ve shared in the past that would work perfectly as the summer warms up!
1. Berry & Walnut Chicken Salad with Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing
2. Blood Orange Walnut Feta Salad with Blood Orange Vinaigrette
4. Grilled Chicken Caesar with Homemade Dressing & Croutons
5. Strawberry Chicken Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
7. Pear, Bacon, and Goat Cheese Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
