Summer Salad Recipe FAQs
What's a good base for a summer salad?
While you can use any greens, summer salads are great for using lighter leaves like rocket, spinach, and mixed baby lettuce. You can also build a base on grains like quinoa or couscous, or make a classic pasta or potato salad.
How can I make a summer salad a satisfying main meal?
To make it a filling main, add a good source of protein. Grilled chicken, prawns, halloumi, and feta cheese are all perfect for summer. You can also add hearty grains like quinoa or bulgur wheat, or healthy fats like avocado.
What fruits go well in a summer salad?
So many! Watermelon and feta are a classic combination. Sliced peaches or nectarines with halloumi, or strawberries and berries with a balsamic dressing are all delicious ways to add a sweet, seasonal twist.
What's a good, light summer salad dressing?
A simple vinaigrette is perfect. A '3-to-1' ratio of extra virgin olive oil to an acid (like lemon juice or white wine vinegar), plus a little mustard, salt, and pepper, is all you need. It's light and won't overpower your fresh ingredients.
What are the best salads for a BBQ?
You can't go wrong with classic side salads. A creamy potato salad, a zesty pasta salad, or a crunchy, fresh coleslaw are all perfect companions for grilled meats and veggies.
How do I keep my salad fresh for a picnic?
The key is to keep the dressing separate! Store your salad ingredients in an airtight container and put your dressing in a small jar. Only dress the salad just before you're ready to eat it to stop the leaves from going soggy.
