Turn summer’s bounty of fresh vegetables and herbs into hearty weeknight dinner salads.
From classics to new favorites, we’ve got ideas that the whole family will love!
Summer is the season for salads!
Nothing highlights my garden bounty like crisp, crunchy vegetables tossed together for quick, healthy weeknight dinners.
I love salads packed with vegetables, but I need to check that they are filling too.
Making a salad into a complete meal can sometimes be a challenge, especially for my growing tweens.

Cobb Salad
This is my first go-to because I always have the ingredients on hand.
You could also easily do a serve-yourself-salad-bar.
Set all the ingredients out on the table and let everyone build their salad to their hearts content!

If you want to save on time, make the steak beforehand!
Its on the table in 20 minutes and has bold Mediterranean flavor!
Asian Tuna Salad
No need to turn on the oven for this Asian-inspired salad!
Elise Bauer
It only takes 10 minutes to whip up, just ensure to have extra on hand.
Youll definitely want seconds.
Fresh fruits like mangos and apples are served with avocados and dried cranberries.

Classic Chicken Salad
This chicken salad is really the best there is.
It has a sweet and tangy flavor thatll drive your taste buds wild.
Chow mein noodles give it a fantastic crunch.
