ZESTY QUINOA SALAD

This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!

  • Peaches and Tomatoes With Burrata and Hot Sauce. Is it a summer salad recipe if there's no lettuce? Yes; not all salads are green. This one, technically a fruit salad, is the color of a summery sunset.
  • Watermelon, Endive, and Fig Salad. We've got easy summer entertaining on lock with this combination of sweet and salty flavors and crunchy and juicy textures.
  • Tiger Fruit Salad. This vinegary salad dressing is a great way to work with not-quite-ripe summer peaches or plums. Just thinly slice the fruit and marinate it and it will turn tender and flavorful.
  • Summer Salmon Niçoise. Niçoise salad, but make it warm, slow-roasted salmon instead instead of oil-packed tuna. This is a riff we can get behind—and a summer salad idea that's main dish-worthy.
  • Cucumber, Tomato, and Green Bean Salad. This refreshing salad is a mash-up of two variations of the sour-salty-sweet Thai salad som tam: the most famous version made with shredded green papaya and another Thai favorite version made with cucumbers.
