In Austin, Texas for the summer, just thinking about turning on the oven can make you sweat.
On warm days, when I’d rather be outside than in the kitchen, summer salads are the perfect solution. They’re simple to toss together, but they’re totally delicious nonetheless.
As a dietitian in Austin, Texas, here is a list of my top favorite salads to throw together for dinner.
Love this salad for a hot afternoon as a side dish to BBQ chicken.
Citrus Shrimp and Avocado Salad
We make this one all the time for summer dinners. The light citrus flavor and the creamy avocado balance out the shrimp and leaves you feeling satisfied on the Austin, Texas hot summer nights.
Arugula and Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese
How could you go wrong with a Martha Stewart salad?! The mix of lentils and the spicy arugula creates such a wonderfully filling salad for the summer.
Honey Mustard Chicken, Avocado & Bacon Salad
