Excuse me. How in the world can we already be looking at the end of Summer?? The older I get, the faster time seems to slip away. I’m sure you know exactly what I mean. Summer flies by, a whirlwind of swimming, vacations, family visits, day-trips, and BBQs. Oh, and pretty much all of those things involve food in some way, shape, or form, correct?
With Labor Day weekend coming up fast, that means the last hoorah for outdoor BBQs and other festivities; the last chance for hot weather activities. Unless you live in Texas, where now is the time I used to actually START going outside without passing out from heat stroke.
That means that with school starting and the daily grind getting filled with extra-curricular activities and other events, our opportunity to enjoy the tastes of summer are quickly slipping away. But not so fast, my friend! I say grab one of these fresh, summer-inspired salads to help ease the transition into what will soon be colder weather, braised and oven-roasted meals, and lots of comfort food.
While we look back on what has (hopefully) been a good summer, we can still reach back for the tastes of hot weather for just a bit longer. Don’t miss out on one of these Top 6 Summer Salads!
I want all of these delicious salads!
Great collection, perfect for spring!
Thanks, Florian!
These are all so great, but I am partial to the caprese! Definitely one of my favorites!
I was just telling my husband that I am itching for those beautiful Summer tomatoes to make an appearance! Caprese–or anything with those flavors–is always at the top of my list. :o)
I love salads and this is a great roundup! That Dijon Red Potato Salad looks fantastic.
I could go for any one of these at any time. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall… I don’t discriminate. I’m a salad-whore – if there was such a term. 😀
Well I think it’s a new word then! Enjoy!
I need to make that pasta salad! That looks perfect for a Labor Day weekend barbecue! I have so many gorgeous cherry tomatoes right now – perfect.
I see a potluck with one of these salads in my near future 🙂 They all look amazing!
That antipasto salad looks all kinds of fantastic! I am sad to see summer headed out too but that only means one thing, my favorite season is finally almost here. yay comfort food!
Not only do I want your spud salad, I want the BOWL you have it in!
I have had that bowl for years, and it’s one of my favorites! :o)
These all look great but the antipasti salad is calling my name! Salads like these make me sad that summer is winding down!!
