An easy summer salad recipe is a must have! Summer salads are so fresh and delicious! I love grabbing a few fresh vegetables from the garden, or slicing up some gorgeously red strawberries to top off my lunch! I have put together SEVENTY Summer Salad Recipes for you!  There are so many gorgeous, tasty options right here!

Having a summer salad recipe that you LOVE is key to being happy with what you are eating!

It’s not convenient for me to run out for lunch, and there are quite a few days when I just eat at my desk while I work!
