If there ever is a season for eating delicious salads, it is definitely summer. Not only because it is easy and quick and doesn’t require hours in the (potentially warm) kitchen, but also because summer salad recipes are super versatile and healthy too!

So if you’re looking for the ultimate summer salad? Look no further. In this list of summer salad recipes I’ve gathered all my favorites for this season. Wether you’re looking for a great recipe to serve with your next barbecue (hello coleslaw!) or you’re just looking for an easy lunch on a hot summer day, I’ve got you covered.
1. Coleslaw
If there ever was an ultimate summer salad recipe, it must be the humble coleslaw. I like to make mine with both white and red cabbage. Just because it looks better, but feel free to use either of the two for your coleslaw.

2. Pasta salad with tuna
I have this thing for pasta. Just love it. And the good news is that you can make some awesome summer salad recipes with cold pasta. Great for using up leftovers or for simply making it new. You can’t go wrong with pasta salad!

3. Pasta salad with gorgonzola
And to proof that you can indeed make whatever you like with pasta salad, this version uses gorgonzola and parmesan. Because you can never have enough cheese!

Another Greek classic is this pantzarosalata. Greek summer salad with beetroot, yogurt and pistachio!

7. Feta and watermelon
Another ultimate classic combination is feta and watermelon. The saltiness of the feta goes so well with the sweet watermelon! It’s simple perfection!

9. Mackerel salad with beetroot
Adding canned fish to a salad is a brilliant way to enhance the protein and enhance the flavors. In this delicious mackerel salad I’ve used fresh mackerel but this is just as easy to make with canned mackerel too.

10. Vegan quinoa salad
Quinoa is another one of those staples that work really well in summer salad recipes. I’ve made this a vegan version but adding some feta or crunchy bacon? That would make it even better!
