    10 Delicious salads your family and friends will love, perfect for potlucks, picnics and barbecues. this Recipe

    It's hot here is Texas, so I've been eating lots of salad these days.

    I love everything about salads. They can be made days ahead and quickly assembled when you're ready, served as a full meal or a simple side. Here 10 delicious salads, that are a few of my favorites that I've been enjoying lately and they make great additions to summer gatherings, like your 4th of July celebration one week away.

     10 Delicious salads your family and friends will love, perfect for potlucks, picnics and barbecues.

    Strawberry, Blueberry, Jicama Salad

    Erin - I’ve used jicama in a more savory salad with radishes, but never thought to add it to fruit salads! This looks delicious. The crispy jicama would be a great contrast to the berries.

    Fruity Spinach & Arugula Salad

    Felicia - We love arugula, but sometimes find it too strong as the only leafy green in our salads. Pairing it with spinach is a great way to cut the nutty flavor. Adding some sweet fruity is the perfect final touch.

    Napa Summer Salad

    Carlyn - How beautiful is this salad! We had salad for dinner last night, sometimes it’s all you need. I shared your post with my hubby, we want to make this next week.

      What a collection! I love the yukon gold salad, and the 4th of July themed salad is the cutest. Jicama sounds like such a great idea to mix in with the berries.

        Thank you Mary, Hope you give some a try and have yourself a safe and happy 4th!

      Yum! Thanks for sharing all these great ideas! I'm not able to digest a whole lot of lettuce day after day, but I love salads that are made from other things. One of my favorites is this cucumber salad for the season that's starting this week here in Pennsylvania, when the cucumbers just keep rolling in!

      • Celeste says

        June 30, 2016 at 9:46 am

        Thanks Becca for stopping by. Ironically I am sharing a cucumber salad next week here on the blog. You may be something you like. It's a combination of cucumbers and radishes.

      You are too nice Nikki, I'm glad you like them and since you can't decide which one is your favorite, just have one on a daily or weekly basis.

      I'm such a HUGE salad lover, and I just don't know where to start here...they all look amazing and healthy! We have a watermelon and blueberry salad with mini marshmallows every 4th of July. The marshmallows (not too many) give it a subtle sweetness. You should link up your post to Fresh Market Friday, where we join our passions with intention to create great things!

        Hi Crystal,
        I hope you had a nice 4th and had a chance to put your watermelon to good use. Tanks for visiting.

        Thanks Michelle,
        I'm a big salad eater and could eat salad multiple times a day.

      Lots of good ones here, Celeste! I just got back to Texas after a 7 day Alaskan cruise. Acclimating to the heat again is brutal. And after a week of dessert and bread at every meal, I am in major detox mode. These recipes came at just the right time! #overthemoon

      • Celeste says

        July 05, 2016 at 12:35 pm

        You are so lucky to have some time away from the Texas heat. Sounds like you had a great time.
        I hope that these salads can help you hit the reset button.

      That arugula and fruit salad looks like the perfect summer lunch or dinner!

        Salads are my favorite, I could eat them everyday. I hope you find one in this round-up you like.

      So many good salad selections! They all look good, especially with fruits. It's too hot in Georgia too. Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday.

        I know about the Georgia heat, I grew up in Georgia, not only is it hot it is super humid.
        Thanks for visiting Shirley, I hope you give them a try.
