Summer Salads to Beet the Heat

Side salad who? To celebrate the arrival of our long-anticipated Imperfect Foods Salad Kits, we’ve put together a round-up of our tastiest, roastiest, most refreshing salads that take center plate. Here are a few of the salads we’re looking forward to eating this summer. And don’t forget! Making your own dressing is super quick, easy, and fun.

Grilled Watermelon, Blueberry, and Mozzarella Salad

This super easy-to-make summer salad is more than just patriotic. It’s refreshing and surprisingly bold with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Plant-Based Superfood Salad

Topped with a creamy tahini dressing and juicy pomegranate seeds, this superfood salad is a satisfying way to make veggies the center of your plate.

Lentil Salad with Roasted Vegetables

This one is worth turning the oven on for. Lentils are paired with caramelized roasted vegetables and drizzled with a savory-sweet miso vinaigrette.

Citrus and Beet Salad

The shallot vinaigrette stands up well to bitter greens like radicchio, but is also delicious on mixed greens or shredded kale, while roasted beets add texture and earthiness.

Crisp Fennel and Zucchini Salad

This bright and festive spring salad is delicious, healthy, and an ideal way to celebrate fennel, the vegetable that everyone honestly kind of always forgets about.

Quinoa with Feta and Spring Vegetables

Finally! A salad with cheese in it. Nutty, fluffy quinoa and crisp veggies are zhuzhed up with a lemony vinaigrette.

Mexican Corn Salad

Corn kernels are sautéed in butter until they’re just the right amount of charred and then mixed in a spicy, creamy lime dressing and topped with more good stuff like cotija cheese and cilantro.

Cherry Tomato Salad with Kidney Beans

Cherry tomatoes are one of the sweetest things about summer, and the mix of textures in this salad makes every bite something to look forward to.

Warm Lentil & Sweet Potato Salad

Sometimes a salad is really just an excuse to eat sun-dried tomatoes.This hearty lentil and sweet potato salad makes for a perfect lunch or easy dinner.
