11 Summer Salads You’ll Crave All Season

From broccoli salad with bacon and cheddar to cucumber salad with mint, you’ll never tire of these simple, fresh, delicious summer salads.

Thai Crunch Salad with Peanut Dressing

It’s the creamy peanut dressing that makes this salad so good–I guarantee you’ll want to put it on everything!
Cucumber Salad with Mint

A little tangy, a little sweet, and a whole lot delicious, this cucumber salad satisfies on a hot summer day.
Sweet & Tangy Citrus Slaw

This bright and crunchy slaw is a healthier alternative to all those mayo-laden slaws, and a perfect accompaniment to burgers or sloppy joes.
Chinese-Style Chicken Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing

This main-course salad is similar to the Chinese chicken salad served at many restaurants, only I’ve left off the unhealthy fried wonton strips that are usually piled on top. Using a rotisserie chicken makes it easy.
Bulgur Salad with Cucumbers, Red Peppers, Chickpeas, Lemon & Dill

Made with bulgur, fresh herbs, chopped vegetables and chickpeas, this Middle Eastern-style salad is like a bulked-up tabbouleh. Make it over the weekend and keep it in the fridge all week long for healthy lunches.
Strawberry and Orange Salad with Citrus Syrup & Fresh Mint

This elegant fruit salad is wonderful for brunch, but don’t rule it out for dessert served with shortcake and whipped cream.
Fresh Corn Salad with Scallions and Basil

Sweet corn scraped off the cob, mild scallions, and fresh basil in a tart white wine vinaigrette — this simple salad is a nice change from the usual corn on the cob, plus you can make it ahead of time.
Baby Spinach Salad with Berries, Pecans & Goat Cheese in Raspberry Vinaigrette

Usually we think of fresh berries as something to eat for breakfast or dessert, but they also make an elegant addition to a salad of baby spinach, pecans and goat cheese.
Broccoli Salad with Bacon, Cheddar & Almonds

In this picnic-perfect salad, raw broccoli soaks up the creamy dressing — softening a bit but remaining crisp — and pairs nicely with bits of salty bacon, tangy cheddar cheese and crunchy almonds.
Black Bean Salad with Corn, Avocado & Lime Vinaigrette

Warning –this bean, corn, and avocado salad is incredibly hard to stop eating!
Peaches, Burrata & Prosciutto with White Balsamic Vinaigrette

Sweet peaches + salty prosciutto + creamy burrata + crunchy pine nuts = a salad you’ll crave all summer long.
