Hearty Salad Recipes For Lunch Or Dinner

Hi friends!

A few months ago I shared 7 Easy Salads For Summer. These are some easy flavor combos that we’ve been enjoying for lunches and dinners at our house this spring and summer. Since then, I’ve heard from a lot of you saying you really enjoy salads as meals during the warm months but are always looking for new ideas.

So, I rounded up a few of the salads I’ve shared on my site over the years:

This Salmon Nicoise Salad is an easy, flavorful twist on a classic recipe. Made with roasted vegetables, baked salmon and a simple dressing, it's perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner!

This Pulled Pork Fajita Salad is the perfect way to transform leftover pulled pork into a healthy new lunch or dinner. A pineapple black bean salsa and a light cilantro-lime dressing add extra flavor!

This Strawberry Chicken Spinach Power Salad is perfect for summer! It's packed with protein, fresh produce & nuts and topped with a lemon poppyseed dressing. A great recipe for lunch or dinner!

So there you go! 7 recipes from the original post plus 12 more ideas! The great thing about salads is they’re so customizable. Make them big or small depending on your hunger levels, swap out proteins if you’re in the mood for something else and play around with the toppings and dressings to make the salads unique to you! Hopefully you can use some of these delicious ideas for summertime salad inspiration.
