Summer Salads that aren't boring!


Hi Reader!

I'm convinced one of the biggest threats to a low calorie eating plan is boredom. And lack of flavor.

We all know salads are a great way to load up on vegetables and healthy ingredients while keeping the calories low but WHO CARES if it doesn't taste good in the process?!!

This summer we have some exciting salads you'll want on repeat. And you also can get our free Easy Salad Cheat Sheet to spark new ideas in your own salad recipes!

Here are 5 favorites everyone will love:

Thai Crunch Salad. This Thai Crunch Salad is a slimmed down, healthier version of the classic California Pizza Kitchen salad. Complete with a delicious skinny Thai peanut salad dressing

Skinny Broccoli Salad. Classic Broccoli Salad with slimmed down ingredients is an irresistible summer salad recipe. Loaded with fresh broccoli, red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and bacon bits in a light creamy dressing.

Arabic Salad. Zesty and bright, this Arabic salad is a chopped salad made with fresh vegetables and classic herbs and spices. Tossed in a light olive oil and lemon vinaigrette, it’s the perfect salad to serve with a heavy dinner or as a refreshing main dish.

Rainbow Chickpea Pasta Salad. This Italian-style pasta salad is full of protein and fiber packed chickpea pasta, tons of fresh vegetables, and a light balsamic vinaigrette make up the most delicious pasta salad.

Cucumber Salad. Refreshing cool Cucumber Salad with onions has a light sweet-tangy dressing making it a perfect warm weather side dish. Easy and fast to make!
