If you find your cart at Meijer completely full of delicious fresh summer produce and you aren’t sure what to do with it all, try some of these other great summer salad recipes:

If you don’t love lemon, you will love the dressing on this Strawberry Spinach Salad instead!.

Swap the Romaine lettuce for spinach for a whole different feel to this salad.

Don’t like goat cheese? Swap it for feta or shaved parmesan!.

If you want to make this even fancier, use candied walnuts!.

I used roasted walnuts, but you could add sliced almonds you lightly toast or any other nut.

You can switch this or that and it’s not going to greatly complicate or change things. This leafy green could be your new favorite summer salad. One of my favorite things about salads is how easy they are to mix up and change. That is a nice side salad for 6 people, and a sweet little side dish for 10 or more.

For Two: Half of this recipe will make two lunch sized portions of this recipe (that is the amount you see pictured).

Top with a little dressing (about two tablespoons), and add more to taste. Grilling watermelon caramelizes the sweetness of the fruit, and the char gives just a hint of smoky flavor.

For One: Chop up one Romaine Heart and add in handfuls of the remaining ingredients. Grilled Watermelon Salad With Lime Mango Dressing and Cornbread Croutons.

I will absolutely give you directions and measurements, but if you are making it for yourself, just do what your mood says. But I know that’s a really bad way to write a food blog. I always struggle with writing the actual recipe when it comes to salads because I don’t like measuring! I just throw things in as my mood strikes me. If you want to stretch this dressing further or make it creamy, add a little non flavored greek yogurt to it! About a half cup for the whole recipe. I bet you already have most of the ingredients you already need! So even though I can only go to my local farmer’s market once a week, I can feel like I’m at the farmer’s market, buying local, every time I visit my Meijer store.įor this salad, I made a really simple Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing. There are some farmers that they have had relationships with for more than 30 years! Imagine my joy and excitement when I was with Meijer in Grand Rapids, Michigan earlier this year and they told me all about how hard they work to make sure they source produce as close to their stores as possible! Being a midwestern company, it is extremely important to Meijer that they support local businesses, including local farmers.

Chimichurri Potato Salad: Creamy potatoes tossed with fresh chimichurri sauce. While, I love buying fresh produce for side dishes (like my roasted beets or my oven roasted asparagus) at the local farmer’s market, that doesn’t always work because it’s just one day a week. Slices of juicy tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, with a drizzle of balsamic and freshly picked basil leaves literally screams summer on a plate.
