Summer Salad
Sweet, sweet summertime. Though fleeting, this magical time of year is packed to the brim with fresh and colorful flavors. Everything tastes juicier, jammier, and more like the sun.
Nothing is better than enjoying peak produce in copious amounts this time of year. I love mixing a variety of vegetables, fruit, and fresh herbs in dishes I prepare when the heat is sweltering, like this Summer Salad with Blackberries, Pistachios, and Dill! It’s an ode to all of the delicious flavors that this season brings. Read on to learn how o make it!
How To Make A Summer Salad
Making a salad fit for this time of year is incredibly simple. I like to use the following ratio to make a salad for two. You can always adjust the amounts if you have more mouths to feed!
- 3 cups greens of your choosing
- 1 cup of fresh fruit
- 1/3 cup fresh herbs
- 1/4 cup something crunchy
The beauty of a salad like this is, of course, the fact that you can customize it any way you like! Love fruit? Add two types! Want protein? Add chicken! Love cheese? Sprinkle on your favorite. Use the above ratio as a start and customize away.
