It doesn’t matter what the weather is—Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer—I just need to have my salad, and I love salads.

My family calls me crazy because I require at least 5 cups of greens each day, and I simply can’t live without them. Now that summer is here, it’s the perfect excuse to bring my salads out to the backyard for a summer BBQ!

I need to have a HUGE, and I mean HUGE, salad every single day. Everyone calls me the go-to expert for making salads because I make them daily!

The beauty of salads is that you can customize them in any way you want with your favorite greens, protein, and sauce. My favorite is a Spring Mix with baked salmon and one whole avocado from Costco (Oh yes, I love those big Costco avocados), topped with crushed pistachios and drizzled with a bit of olive oil, lemon, and a choice of sauce.

If you want to add a bit of berries, you can always drop in half a cup of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries to make it refreshing for the summer. My favorite is blueberries!

Anyway, I was just giving you examples of what you can do with your summer salad. The options are endless, as you can choose from chicken, fish, lean ground beef, or even lamb, mixed with your favorite fruits, veggies, nuts, and choice of sauce. Oh yeah, and a word of advice… never leave avocados out of your salads. Their creamy texture adds a premium taste, and they provide healthy fats which is great for achieving that glowing skin you desire, ladies.

So, in this blog post, I’ve gathered my favorite summer salad recipes to inspire you and give you more ideas!
