Summer salads are hard to beat, especially when the heat is on. They are the best way to use seasonal fruits and veggies. Chicago's farmers markets are not open yet, which is so disappointing. Are they open in your towns? Thankfully, Whole Foods does have pretty produce! This recipe roundup will make a salad lover out of anyone. And for those meat and potato people, there is a Loaded Potato Salad, and the best sounding Steak Salad with flavors of the southwest. You'll love the salad accessories, too.

Seared Tuna Salad With Lemon Caper Dressing
We begin with my fave of the roundup. Don't worry if the rawness of the tuna freaks you out, feel free to cook it through to your liking. Heather Christo
Oh my! How fun is this salad? The ingredients are so fresh and flavorful, no dressing is required. A touch of fresh mint brings it all together.

Have you noticed that there are many people that either can't eat tomatoes or don't like them? Shocking, I know, because I love a fresh tomato so much. Well, this gorgeous salad is for them! It's all topped off with a Balsamic Glaze.
I have always wanted one of these!
Sur La Table
Everything in this salad is homemade and delicious. It's all topped off with creamy burrata cheese. What a show stopper!
Half Baked Harvest
This recipe reminds me of the same salad I often ordered from a gourmet food market in Chicago years ago. It was so good. The market has moved on, so I may try this recipe soon. Tomatoes and bread are a delicious duo!

Fresh, healthy, and high in protein. What else could you want from a salad? The dressing is very light with a combination of olive oil, lemon, and Dijon mustard. It goes really well with
shrimp and eggs.
Primavera Kitchen
This salad features Summer's best produce. It's oh so colorful, too.

Too hot to have the oven on? Make this salad ahead of time, and serve up those potatoes chilled. I have a feeling that this recipe will be made
on repeat this season.
Foodie Crush
Isn't this a beautiful thing? The beauty of this salad is that the longer the peaches and tomatoes sit and marinate in the vinaigrette, the better the flavor. This recipe is party worthy and gets a five star rating from over 30 reviews.

Steak Salad
"Hearty and loaded with lots of smoky, southwestern flavor, this delicious steak salad with its zesty cilantro-avocado dressing sure hits the spot!" The main ingredient is marinated flank steak.
The Cozy Apron
The combination of sweet strawberries, toasted pecans, creamy feta, and a perfect honey balsamic poppy seed dressing, will make a salad eater
out of anyone.

Bali Salad Servers
These little servers with a melamine monkey motif, make me smile. At less than $20, they make a super Summer hostess gift.
Radicchio–Stone Fruit Salad
This salad has all of the feels and flavors ~ sweet, tart, salty and a touch of bitterness. Every component plays well with the other. 100% of the reviewers would make this recipe again.Epicurious
Oh I love the idea and look of this dish. It's really a deconstructed version of a Chicken Caesar, but oh so appealing. A perfect barbecue starter,
don't you think?

Il Borgo del Balsamico Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
A good dressing becomes a great one with a high quality Vinegar. I have had this brand, and I know why they call it "Black Gold."
