One of my favorite things about summer is that we BBQ all the time & rarely use my stove or oven (unless I am baking)!
Our summer menu looks a little this:
BBQ Chicken
Tri-Tip/Steak
Salmon or Tilapia grilled on the BBQ
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Hot Dogs
Hamburgers
Taco Salad
Chicken Apple Sausages
Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
With each of these meals, I make a salad to go with it.
{Mixed Green Salad with Dried Cranberries, Mandarin Oranges & Sugared Pecans}
I have a handful of salads that I rotate through.....
Pasta Salad, Orzo Salad, Caprese Salad, Green Salads, Brocolli Salad, Spinach Salad, etc.
{Spinach Strawberry Salad with Poppyseed Dressing}
But, I am getting sick of my salad rotation & need some fresh new ideas.
This is where you guys come in!
Next Wednesday, I am having a Summer Salad Swap Recipe Linky!
{Orzo with Shrimp}
I had so much fun with the Cookie Exchange in December and the Cupcake Carnival in May and loved getting new recipes, so I thought I would do one for Summer Salads!
{Broccoli Salad with Bacon & Tomatoes}
So, come back next Wednesday, July 27 & link up your favorite summer salad recipes and come check out what other people share!

I will be linking up my Broccoli Salad (see picture above)
I hope you will join in!

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in on this one! I have a receipe in mind. It's Oriental Cole Slaw. So easy and so good! I was sad when I missed the cupcake exchange. The cookie exchange was so much fun. I'm a huge dork because I'm going to put a reminder on my iphone calendar so I don't forget :)

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have a name I just call it the "Corn/Bean/Veggie salad" It is SOOO yummy. You have to try it!
Ingredients:
1 can whole corn kernels
1 can black beans
2 celery stalks
2 carrots
½ large red pepper
1 green onion
½ large cucumber
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup sugar
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 tsp chipotle
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
Chop all veggies to the size of the beans and corn. Rinse beans and corn well. Mix all veggies in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients adding salt and pepper to taste. Chill and serve (best served cold)
It's a PERFECT summer salad! Enjoy!
