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.

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.

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

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!

This easy to prepare salad is so delicious ans the star of every summer party. It pairs well with balsamic vinegar. The strawberries could be exchanged with other fruits like peaches, raspberries, and even watermelon. Try with cheese, bread and a glas of white wine.

Berry Picking - What could be better on a summer day than a salad with berries?

I love berries and I eat them every day! One of my recent obsessions has been Acai bowls - I love the variety in toppings, the flavors and of course all the berries. I wanted to create an illustrated that highlighted both berries and acai bowls, in a fun colorful way.

Garden Salad is the best when you can walk out your back door and pick your salad fixins fresh from the dirt.
