It’s Memorial Day weekend, which not only is the gate to summer, but an excuse to get outside and grill. Here are 5 fresh salads to see you through the upcoming BBQ season, perfect to accompany any grill menu.
No -Mayo Peppery Potato Salad – hard to believe there’s no mayonnaise in this creamy salad, chock-a-block full of peppers, chiles and onion.
Mixed Greens with Fava Beans and Mint – the essence of late spring on a plate.
Corn and Tomato Salad – this classic summer salad is sweet, juicy and fresh with the kick of poblano chiles and crisp red onion.
Blue Potato and Mustard Salad – another no-mayo potato salad, napped with olive oil and spiked with fresh mustard leaves. Use blue potatoes if you can find them for color value. Otherwise, yellow potatoes will work too.
Fattoush Salad – a hearty and fresh Middle Eastern salad fragrant with mint and coriander, composed of crisp greens, crumbled feta and grilled pita bread.
I’m hard-pressed to pick a favorite here, probably the corn and tomato salad. I’m SO hungry for fresh corn, just coming into the markets now.
I’m so excited for all the early summer vegetables at the market! These salad recipes all sounds fantastic. I especially like the vibrant potato salad.
