1. Mexican Quinoa Salad
This hearty salad is full of fresh flavors and beautiful colors. It's great made in advance and holds up very well.
2. Ultimate Greek Chopped Salad
I've made this salad countless times for gatherings with great response. It's wonderfully hearty because of the added chickpeas.
3. Healthy Texas Caviar
An oil-free, healthier take on traditional cowboy caviar. Serve it like a salad, or bring chips for dipping!
4. Black Bean Lentil Salad with Cumin-Lime Dressing
Lentils and black beans are so great together. (Plus budget-friendly!) This hearty, satisfying salad is full of plant-based protein and fiber.
5. Quinoa Tabbouleh
One of my favorites! Serve this ultra-fresh dip with crackers or also as a light salad.
6. Avocado Veggie Sandwich
Sandwiches are a classic choice for picnics. We make these often for road trips and day trips. (Tip: make a batch of this homemade Hummus to spread on the sandwich. Then bring the rest for a dip with crackers or veggies!)
7. Quinoa Avocado Spinach Power Salad
One of my most-made salad recipes which also seems to be a great crowd-pleaser.
8. Edamame, Tomato, Corn Salad with Lemon Dressing
Edamame is a fun and often unique ingredient. Fresh summertime ingredients are combined and then tossed with a lemon dressing.
9. Quinoa Vegetable Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing
This salad holds up very well when made in advance. It's colorful, fresh, and topped with a delicious lemon-basil dressing!
10. Fiesta Bean Salad
Either scoop this one up with chips or enjoy it as a salad.
Bonus: Blender Salsa
This recipe is great made ahead of time because the flavors intensify as it sits.
Need a refreshment too? This Strawberry Watermelon Slush is also a lovely summertime drink!
