Summer salad recipes that you’ll actually want to eat

I am not a salad person, I just don’t like lettuce at all. So whenever Summer comes around I usually stick to coleslaw and potato salad. But this Summer I wanted to branch out and find some salad-y recipes that weren’t a standard green salad. So I scoured the internet and found these amazing-looking recipes and thought I would share them with you.

Melon, Mozzarella and Prosciutto salad

Dish NZ

This recipe inspired this article, I saw this salad on Instagram and thought I need to make that and then find more recipes like it. With a base of melon with mozzarella and prosciutto (two of my favourite things) this salad actually sounds delicious.

Roast Kumara, Carrot and Orange salad

Just a Mum

I love Kumara, hands down my favourite vegetable. I’ve actually made this salad and can confirm it is delicious. I made mine with golden kumara just because I prefer golden, I can understand why the red kumara is used in the recipe as it is a little harder and so holds it’s shape better, whereas golden can get quite soft, but it still tasted really good and worked fine.

Barbecued Peach Panzanella

Taste

Peaches, tomatoes, a bit of ciabatta, sounds like a winning salad to me.

Chargrilled Sweet Potato, Peach and Rocket Salad

Taste

Another salad with a kumara and peaches, sounds delicious, I’m just going to leave out the rocket.
