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.

SUMMER SALADS. There’s an abundance of beets in the garden. Fortunately, there are also an abundance of ways to use them! They’re a great addition to any salad & a yummy salad all by themself😋

Easy summer salad with fresh and gorgeous ingredients – no cooking required. Perfect for BBQs and buffets.

This classic Italian recipe is a great way to use up day-old bread! You can add cheese or leave out the cucumbers...there are many variations of this salad.

This Ukrainian summer salad is cool perfection. I grew up eating it at my Babunya's beach house. We picked the cukes fresh off the vine, and combined them with smooth sour cream, tangy vinegar, a bit of sugar and plenty of fresh dill.

This was done as a demonstration for my Materials and Techniques class at SCAD Atlanta. I've had several classes create illustrated recipes for TDAC but I've never actually completed one before, and it was great fun! The technique is watercolor and colored pencils on 300# hot press watercolor paper with touchups in Photoshop. I "borrowed" the recipe from https://cafedelites.com/ because it just sounded so delicious. I haven't made it yet, but it's definitely happening soon. Enjoy!

A brightly coloured summer salad jammed packed with veggies straight from the garden!

I love fresh tomato salad. When I go to a picnic I bring it! Lots of colorful tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil, add salt, olive oil and squeezed lemon. This is a great salad for summer!

Caprese Salad, a classic summertime salad, was created in the 50s in Capri and should always be dressed with a drizzle of EVOO only! Balsamic vinegar would destroy the delicate flavor of the cheese. And use only the finest ingredients since it's such a simple salad!

Summer salad is lightness, music, jazz

This salad is so simple and nutritious, and the cranberries and honey bring sweetness to balance out the bitter greens.

One of my favorite summer salads, this one features green beans, figs, and hazelnuts paired with fresh mozzarella. Add prosciutto or ham if you'd like a salty edge!

Think of this recipe as a traditional fruit salad with an upgrade! The combination of fresh fruit with zesty lime juice, a hint of sweet basil, and little extra yummy goodness from the honey will leave your tastebuds wanting more!

Salads with all the ingredients, with seasonal vegetables and with all the colors are perfect for summer! I love vegetables, their colors and all their textures!
