For some reason I am more inspired by the produce and comforting recipes of fall and winter than I am during the summer. It seems a bit counterintuitive because produce is so abundant in the summer but I’ve always been a fan of soups and stews so sometimes I struggle with my summer salad game. Having said that, I can always count on a salad to deliver in the summertime! I love experimenting with dressings and different ingredients to make sure my salads are packed with flavor and never boring. So if you also struggle with keeping salads interesting, I’ve rounded up my 12 favorite salads to enjoy during the summer. Enjoy!
