Quick and Healthy Salads for Summer

One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh produce. Fresh, in season produce tastes so good and also makes for really great salads!


Here are a few of my favorite salad recipes that we eat all summer long.


Rice and Bean Salad

DDI VANTAGE frequently serves this salad at socializations during the summer. It's perfect for picnics!

Cabbage and Ramen Salad

Cabbage and ramen can be a choking hazard for young children. Simply cook the ramen and add cabbage to the cooking water if serving children under 3 years of age.

Pasta Salad

If you are cooking for babies, chop the veggies very small to avoid choking hazards.

Salad Bar

Just put salad greens and whatever you have in your fridge on the table with some bottled dressing and call it a meal! Canned salty kidney beans are a family favorite for salad bar night.


If you are looking for something a little fancier and different, I love these salad ideas from the blog "Cookie and Kate" https://cookieandkate.com/summer-salads/?


I frequently make her "Tabbouleh" recipe and plan to get a recipe for Tabbouleh on this blog soon.


I also love the salad ideas from Eating Bird Food, the recipes on her blog are always so easy to make and tasty: https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/category/meal-type/salads/


I hope this gives you some yummy ideas! Happy Salad Season!
