Summer Recipes to Try

All of this Summer heat always makes me want to eat lighter.  Less time spent in the kitchen with the oven and stove sounds perfect to me.  I've been rounding a some recipes I want to try on Pinterest.  These can go as a light main dish or the perfect side to some grilled deliciousness!

Chickpea Salad
I'm a big fan of chickpeas in chopped salads and this one looks delicious.



Grilled Corn Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
I made a very similar salad here, and my whole family loved it.  Best part is, it kept for days.


Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette
Everything is better with cilantro and avocado - I can't wait to try this salad!


Shrimp and Avocado Salad

This salad looks so delicious and could be served with tortilla chips as an appetizer or as a lighter dinner with a glass of white wine - yum!

Strawberry Salsa
I love the colors of this salad, this is another I can't wait to try.  It would be perfect with tortilla chips like traditional salsa or over chicken or fish.

For past few weeks I have been thinking about how I want to find some summer recipes. Thank you so much for sharing these. I'm growing some cilantro in our urban garden and I love avocado so I'll have to try the recipes with that combo. That corn salad sounds really good too. Stay cool out there today!! :-)

I am so stinking hungry right now and this did not help hah. Try the chickpea salad with feta, too; it's fantastic! Nothing beats fresh corn salad in the summer.
