Summer salads: Salad ideas to fill you up

Colorful summer salads with lots of fresh vegetables, legumes, cheese, fish or meat are filling and a wholesome main meal on warm days.
Turning on the stove and cooking a lot of food on a warm summer evening? Better not. Summer salads are the ideal light snack for hot days . Freshly prepared, they use only the crisp ingredients that summer gives us: fresh fruit and vegetables, often combined with fish, chicken, or pasta. The classic summer salad is, of course, a simple combination of tomatoes and mozzarella . You don't need much more than a simple tomato salad on an evening like this to make you happy. A simple dressing of olive oil, salt, and pepper - and we're perfectly satisfied. How about our spaghetti salad, for example?
Wonderfully fresh: creative summer saladsIf you want to spend a little more time on a summer salad, your imagination is practically unlimited . Slice a fresh avocado, work with mango and papaya, fresh berries, crunchy beans, mixed salads—there are plenty of recipes to brighten up your summer. One of our favorites is the strawberry and cucumber salad with shrimp . It combines the fruity acidity of the berries with the sweetness of the shrimp and the wonderful freshness of the cucumber. This is what summer tastes like!
Mediterranean salads for that holiday feelingAlso very aromatic: the wild herb salad with chickpea balls . The balls are prepared with rosemary and lemon, giving them a full flavor reminiscent of warm summer evenings in Tuscany . And we can't resist this recipe for a Mediterranean summer salad either: tomato bread salad . Shrimp, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese are combined with crisp leaf lettuce and ciabatta bread. This makes this light dinner truly delicious .
Particularly popular at the moment: delicious salads that combine fresh fruit and vegetables . Our endive salad with gratinated cheese and raspberries is a prime example. But summer salads aren't just a vegetarian delight: fish and seafood are also ideal for light salad creations. Whether salmon, scallops, or crayfish—whatever you like goes into the salad. This is culinary holiday anticipation!
