Welcome to Summer Salad Sundays!
Summer is a time of abundant garden produce – fresh, crunchy and juicy! What better way to enjoy it than a big bowl of salad! Salads are so incredibly versatile and there is no limit to the combinations and flavors that you can create. Make a small side salad to a complement a meal, or add some protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats, and you have a complete meal!
Summer Salad Sundays is a place to link up and share your salad recipes, or to get some great ideas for your next salad. Summer Salad Sundays will run all through summer!
Anything goes!
- Leafy green salads
- Meat-based salads
- Grain or lentil-based salads
- Pasta salads
- Potato salads
- Coleslaws
- Fruit salads
- Cooked vegetable salads
- Homemade salad dressing recipes/tips
- ….etc…provided it’s healthy and salad-related!
Thank you for the wonderful selection of salads from last week’s Summer Salad Sunday! I hope you’re getting as much inspiration as I am from the variety, creativity and amazing flavor combinations of the salads being shared here. Here are my featured salads from last Sunday. I hope you’ll take the time to check them out:
Wilted Kale, Quinoa & Bacon Salad by Sumptuous Spoonfuls
The combination of kale, quinoa and bacon sounds like a perfect meal in a bowl! A great salad for a dinner, lunch or to take on a picnic.
New Twist on Caprese by The Nourishing Home
The Nourishing Home’s twist on a Caprese Salad, using balsamic-infused cherries, looks…..amazing! Love this idea!
Waldorf Salad by Gluten Free SCD and Veggie
I did not know how many healthy, beneficial ingredients there are in a Waldorf Salad, but it is very good for you, and so tasty too! Check out this dairy-free version with candied walnuts.
Salad Dressing Feature:
I also wanted to highlight this Moroccan Vinaigrette by Whole New Mom because it sounds so tasty!
Carnival Guidelines – PLEASE READ:
1) Real food ingredients only! This means no industrial foods such as processed vegetable oils (extra virgin and cold pressed are ok), refined sugar, unfermented soy etc.
2) No store-bought salad dressings! Making your own mayonnaise or vinaigrette using quality oils and other healthy ingredients is so easy, and so much better for you. If you’ve never tried making your own before, stay tuned, because there are sure to be many great mayo/vinaigrette recipes shared here!
3) Please add a link back to Summer Salad Sundays on your post. This is standard linky etiquette and helps more readers find all of the great recipes shared on Summer Sunday Salads. Only posts that link back will have a chance of being featured.
5) Finally, if you see something that you like, leave a comment for that person on their blog and let them know you found them through Summer Salad Sundays! It’s always great to get positive comments

You’re welcome, Kelly! Love your recipes

Hello Debbie,
I so enjoy your Summer Salad Sunday link party! Such great recipes.
This week I am sharing a chicken, mango and black bean salad with a vegan cilantro lime sauce (SCD friendly) and one of my favorite summer veggies, Kohlrabi in a refreshing summer salad.
Have a great rest of your weekend.
Hugs,
–Amber
Sounds wonderful, thanks Amber! Kohlrabi is one of those veg that I have no idea how to eat, so your recipe sounds perfect!

It’s great alone or topped with a piece of fish (seared ahi would be amazing on it!).
