Summer is my favorite time of year because I love all of the fresh produce that is available. I can never get enough! I try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can every single day so I can enjoy all of the flavors of summer. I love this Summer Vegetable Salad because it is packed with so many summer vegetables. I get to enjoy all of my favorites in one salad!
This salad recipe comes from Gail Simmon’s new cookbook, Bringing It Home . I am obsessed with this book! There are SO many recipes I want to make and this Summer Vegetable Salad is already a favorite. I know I am going to be making it all summer long. Make sure you check out the cookbook, it’s a good one!
Yes, you read that correctly, a charred lime vinaigrette. Charring the limes for the dressing is genius! Grilling the limes before juicing them gives the salad a delicious charred flavor and it makes the limes easier to juice. A win-win!
Summer Vegetables—and How To Cook With Them
I love that the vegetables are grilled, grilling adds the best flavor and you can’t beat grilling out during the summer. We like to spend as much time outside as possible. And if you don’t have a grill, don’t worry, you can use a grill pan inside. That is fine too!
This salad is very flexible too, you can use whatever summer vegetables you have on hand. The more the merrier! If you want to bulk up the salad to make it more of a main dish, feel free to add your favorite protein-chicken, steak, fish, or beans would be great! And if you have avocado, add it! Avocado is always a good idea!
