This week has been so hot, salads were our "go to" dinners. With all of the fresh produce and fruit, why not? Here's inspiration for your own warm weather meals and side dishes. I've included some really handy tools of the trade, too. Enjoy!
Tomato, Peach & Burrata Salad
This recipe is said to be simple to throw together. I am interested in the tangy honey vinaigrette.

Mediterranean Wedge Salad
Could there be a better salad to eat with a grilled steak? This recipe is a modern twist on the classic. The dressing is creamy feta.
So summery and healthy, too. It's tossed up with a Maple Sweetened Balsamic Vinaigrette.
The recipe author says it best: "Arugula with juicy strawberries, crisp cucumbers, creamy burrata cheese, pickled red onions, candied pecans, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette."
Insalata Siciliana
What a gorgeous salad! It's really Sicily on a plate. The recipe blends the sweetness of oranges, with the sharpness of red onions, and briny olives. Get those super thin onion slices with the OXO Chef's Mandoline.
Individual Acrylic Salad Cup Set
This is so cleverly chic! It's an stylish way to serve a salad to a crowd. You get the cups, a clear mini fork, and best of all, a vial for individual salad dressing. servings. The salad won't get soggy! This set will earn you hostess with the mostess status!
Gorgonzola Crusted Steak Salads
This is the way to eat a steak in the summer. If you wish, serve the steak with a little melty cheese warm, over the cool crisp veg.

OXO Good Grips Large Salad Spinner
Excited about this recipe. I have oodles of fresh basil growing in the garden. It's herbaceous, creamy and fresh!
One of my favorites. Easier for some, this recipe calls for canned tuna. I would likely use fresh tuna, but suit yourself. YUM!
Bento Box Square Serving Bowl
Love this unexpected serving dish for salads, pasta and more. A few of these would look fab on a buffet or kitchen island. It's glazed stoneware, and dishwasher and microwave safe. $16.95
Pesto Zoodle Salad
Isn't this stunningly beautiful? Fresh mozzarella, zucchini zoodles ( which I have never made ) roasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, and homemade pesto. How could this be anything but good?
Pesto changes up this salad staple for Summer. And could grilled bread not be one of the best things ever?
