Infused by locally grown peaches, berries and herbs, inspired by a visit to our local food market in Kecskemet, Hungary. Super tasty and super easy to make, enjoy!

The word 'Summer' always brings a smile on my face and reminds me of all the beautiful colors that look particularly brighter in this season. I came across this recipe of 'Rainbow Salad' on Instagram by Nandita Iyer, the author of 'The everyday healthy Vegetarian'. Rainbow Salad- The name was so apt, because this is exactly a big bowl of colors. Apart from being so nutritious, all the colors are extremely appealing to the eyes. When I saw the topic of Summer Salads, I immediately remembered Nandita's Salad. The salad is extremely customizable to what you have available in the kitchen and is super easy to make.

Take your favorite cheeseburger and ditch the bun, chop up the veggies, and toss with secret sauce and you have a Cheeseburger salad!

This salad is super refreshing and perfect to serve this summer. It’s salty, sweet, zippy and herbaceous in flavor, you'll love it!

Tomatoes, watermelon, onion, and feta tossed with a vinaigrette. A refreshing salad for a hot summer day.

Although I have never been to the Mediterranean or have never eaten mediterranean dish but I came up with this recipe after the quarantine started and just named Mediterranean Salad and my family loves it! I always dream to travel there and we say we can travel to the Mediterranean during lunchtime using our imagination while eating this fresh summer salad. Looking at my family's smiles makes me so happy and thankful.

An all time favorite, fresh from the garden, summer salad.

To me, the very first signs of summer are the bright yellow faces of the dandelions springing up everywhere. What better way to celebrate summer in a salad than by tossing some of their tasty greens with salty bacon and a hot, salty vinaigrette. The greens are bitter, so if you don't like bitter, you may want to add a little sugar to the dressing.

A good basic salad with ingredients from your local market with a few easily grown ingredients from your own backyard. Absolutely nothing fresher and healthier than that!

Theme: Summer Salads

I don't like vegetables, so I chose fruit salad for my summer. I really love when the fruit meets the drops of lime.

This is a recipe known only to people from my small community in the state of Maharashtra in India. Such recipes, using coconut and mangoes are specific to the western coastal belt of India, especially Maharashtra because of the abundance of these fruits. During Spring, raw mangoes start appearing in the markets and a countless dishes are made from these tangy treats. One of these is a salad prepared using fresh coconut, raw mango and raw chickpeas soaked in water to soften them. All of this is ground together with chillies and tempered with spices. Garnished with salt, sugar and fresh coriander, this is a unique and unknown savoury salad which I can eat in bucketfuls!

This dressing was a staple in our house growing up. You can buy it in stores, but I like making my own. It also makes a great dip for veggies!

Just throw together a few seasonal fruit, mix it with leafy greens and drizzle with lemon juice
