This summer has been a very hot one so far. It seems that the thermometer almost never lowers under 30 degrees lately. I don’t know about you, but all this heat makes me lose most of my appetite. I only want to eat dishes that are refreshing and light.

That’s where salads come into play. They’re fresh, light and perfect for hot summer days. With great recipes that have a good amount of proteins, salads will fill you up as much as any other meal.

Here are more than 20 recipes for fresh summer salads that are anything but boring!

My name is Isabelle (Zaza for the few people who knew me way back then). I am writing to you from my pink office in Montréal, Québec. As a French literature graduate, I soon realized that teaching was not for me and I am now working in an office. I love mountains, trees, soup, and books. In recent years, my passion for food grew bigger and bigger. As a result, I am now going out of my comfort zone in the kitchen and trying to be more adventurous. I invite you to follow me on my journey to learn new techniques, conquer desserts and find exquisite recipes. Along the way, I plan to share what excites me, may it be a newly discovered restaurant, book, artist or Etsy find.
