 8 Healthy Summer Salads

If you are looking for yummy and healthy summer salads, I have rounded up from awesome ones! Many of these refreshing recipes are gluten-free, no soy, dairy-free, sugar-free, vegetarian, vegan, and paleo.

Asian Salad with Shrimp

This healthy summer salad by Kristen Jakobitz is full of fresh Asian flavours. It is topped with shrimp which makes it a filling meal and can easily be made gluten-free if you swap soy sauce for tamari. Get the recipe.

Vegan Greek Power Salad

This healthy summer salad by The Mostly Vegan is jam packed with yummy, filling things like red quinoa, kalamata olives, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and Marcona almonds. It’s a salad that eats like a meal. Get the recipe.

Smoked Tofu Apricot Salad

Smoky, smooth tofu, chewy apricot & a colourful salad, tossed with an awesome creamy Asian-inspired apricot dressing. This salad by A Virtual Vegan is healthy, fresh, vibrant & delicious! Get the recipe.

Yummy Kale Beet Salad

This healthy summer salad by Sonya Nutrition is ready in minutes, which is perfect for the summer because who wants to spend time in the kitchen when the weather is beautiful. Get the recipe here.

Kale and Sweeet Potato Salad

Kale and Sweet Potato Salad by Dr Alexsia Priolo is easy and delicious. You can  add in whatever extra vegetables that you have in the fridge or out in the garden. Since the kale leaves are tough, you don’t need to worry about the leaves wilting too much if you have leftovers (I think it tastes even better!). Get the recipe.

The warm weather is here and it’s easy to get fresh local veggies so it’s time to shake up your salad routine with some seasonal, local goodness! If you want a healthy alternative to hot dogs and burgers at your next social barbeque, try this salad by Radiant Health Revolution. Get the recipe.
