14 Delicious Summer Salad & Dressing Recipes

14 delicious summer salad and dressing recipes. oooh! Must save this!

I’ll admit it. I’m not a huge salad fan… most of the time. Honestly, when I learned about how nasty most commercial salad dressing are (you know, full of GMOs, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and rancid vegetable oils) I didn’t feel to bad about my general dislike for them.

Luckily, making your own homemade salads and dressing is not only a whole lot healthier (because, let’s be honest, drowning your veggies in horrible dressings really doesn’t make it good for you), but they are easy to make. And it turns out, I actually like REAL salads with REAL dressing made from REAL ingredients.

So whether you love salads or need a little persuasion, here are 14 divinely delicious summer salads and dressing to try.

But wait! Before we jump in to the recipes, I do think it’s important to remember something about your ingredients: Quality matters. A lot of recipes call for olive oil (which is a great oil for non-heat applications like dressings)… before you dive into the yummy goodness, be sure to check out this post from The Nourished Life about getting the best olive oil possible.
