When summer bounty is in full swing, there is nothing better than a Caprese Salad. Good balsamic vinegar is a great addition but is not "classic".

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.

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.

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!

Shirazi salad (Persian:‎ salad shirazi) is a popular traditional Iranian salad that originated from and is named after Shiraz in Southern Iran.
Its primary ingredients are cucumber, tomato, onion, olive oil, herbal spices and verjuice, although lime juice is sometimes used in its preparation but verjuice is the right ingredient. In Iran, it is eaten in the summer as a side dish on its own, and year-round as a side dish alongside meat-based foods such as kebab, and as a side dish before and after meals .
You’ll love how simple it is, yet so bright and packed with flavor!

SUMMER SALAD. Sometimes a simple bowl of mixed greens is the best! I use whatever greens I have in the garden or frig. Easy. Delicious. Nutritious. Add oil, lemon S&P. Done!

For the summer salads theme - I'm not very familiar with making salads, and was surprised to see such a wide range of fruit and vegetables going into them!

Tangy , full of crunch , protein and texture, this salad is a much loved recipe at my house. I loved illustrating this recipe digitally. The borders feature Indian designs called Rangoli/kolam that are decorative drawings done in rice flour or colored powder to adorn the entrances of homes. When done in rice flour, these designs become food for little creatures like ants.
