Any new summer salads on your table?
One of my fav QUICK and delicious salads this summer is to just take my chopper (I’ll post the link) and grab whatever fresh vegetables I have handy and chop- in less than 5 minutes I have bite sized veggie pieces. I salt and pepper, and add whatever dressing I feel like. It’s SOOO good!
Tonight was tomatoes , cukes, carrots, red onion, jalapeño, olives with a vinaigrette
I’ve made this peach and Burrata salad a few times and it’s really good!
I like to top it with some prosciutto.
I make a beet salad with ingredients I almost always have on hand – lettuce, then sliced beets, crumbled feta cheese, sunflower seeds sprinkled on top, drizzled with my standard salad dressing (olive oil, white balsalmic vinegar and mustard). Done!
A regular of mine as well. Peaches or nectarines with tomatoes is a 
!
I will be making this!!!
Mine is a corn cappresse salad with fresh corn, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, basil and white wine vinaigrette. Also a family favorite is cucumber blueberry salad with small cucumbers, fresh blueberries, feta cheese, mint and white wine vinaigrette.
You can do the tofu in an iron skillet on the stove, you don’t actually need the oven. And you can use peaches, or nectarines; you can use almond butter or lettuce instead of cabbage. We usually shred carrots to go along with everything else.
How do the tomatoes and peaches mix? I see this salad and it seems like those flavors would clash
Soooo delicious - the combo of sweet and acidic. Need a crunch like raw onion. I had both on cottage cheese this morning for breakfast
I thought so too before I tried it but as abasket mentioned the acidity of the tomatoes with the sweetness of the peaches is so good! I have used fresh basil and dill and really like that combination with the other flavors.
My version on repeat this summer has tomato, nectarine, peach, avocado, buffalo mozzarella, and crispy prosciutto on top. Drizzle with good olive oil and balsamic glaze. I think thin slivers of red onion would be great too, or toasted pine nuts.
Amazing. All of those ingredients!
That looks amazing!
Holy cow that looks awesome.
Main course salad: grilled salmon salad. Grill salmon (olive oil, salt, pepper), place on bed of greens. Grill asparagus, onions, tomatoes, and peppers (all with just olive oil/s/p), and divide among salads. Dress with an olive oil/balsamic/shallot/honey dressing. Same would work with shrimp, chicken thighs, etc.
The chopper is perfect for that! No knife skills needed. 
For anyone skeptical about the peach/tomato combo - oh, my word!
I was asking a friend today if she had ever tried that combo (we were talking about burrata cheese, so I was telling her about having seen the linked recipe). She had not and asked if I had. I hadn’t until tonight! I didn’t have all the ingredients for the recipe, so I just threw together what I had on hand: a white nectarine, some tomatoes, some bleu cheese, some salted sunflower seeds, and some bottled lemon basil vinaigrette. It was SO good! I can only imagine how tasty it would be with fresh basil and more herbs.
A recipe is often only a guide! Your version sounds amazing! I bet you’ll repeat in some form or another!
