Eating Light? Try Your Hand At These Fun Summer Salads

Guys! Our survival is becoming a question in the scorching heat of Delhi. No, it's not just the problem of continuous sweat and stench or looking fresh, and it's not about you not being able to get into your favourite hot pants. Trust me, with, or without hot pants, you are probably looking hot. The problem is the loss of appetite in this heat. It is getting a little hard to imagine having chole bhature for breakfast or having samosas in the evening. So for our poor souls who have to bear the scorching heat of Delhi, we have listed some tasty summer salads that will not only keep you light on your feet but also keep you nourished and healthy.

Fresh Corn Salad

Most basic recipes with fresh corn salad are also the most delicious throughout the summer. This salad is refreshing and is made using easily obtained ingredients. If you find sweet corn hard to digest, substitute it with baby corn.

Nicoise Salad Recipe

Nicoise salad is a French salad. One thing we love about making salads is that they are very forgiving. So if you can't stick to the exact salad nicoise recipe, it doesn’t matter. For instance, instead of arugula, you can choose any green of your choice. When we tried it out, we substituted arugula with baby spinach. And instead of using pitted Kalamata olives, we used green olives. Further, this recipe also calls for tuna, but if you don't like it, then you can substitute the protein as well. Instead, you can use half-boiled eggs. The main ingredients, such as roasted potatoes and tomatoes, did it all for us. Either way, this is an easy and flavorful salad and you should try making it home this summer.

Tomato Salad And Chorizo

 Well, you don't have to go in the middle of a field to make this salad like Jamie did, but you do need a lot of tomatoes and garlic. Again like the previous salad recipes, you can change this one as well according to the ingredients available. Like, you can use normal white vinegar instead of using cherry vinegar as the recipe demands. Furthermore, if you can't find chorizo sausage you can use any type of sausage feasible for you. This is one of the most flavourful salads. Plus, I am sure you will agree if I say this salad is far from being boring. So, don't wait anymore try this salad out this summer.

Green Bean Salad

Well, this is the easiest and most nutritious salad ever created. We even like this salad as a light snack in between meals. Even though this recipe is simple, it is far from being boring or flavourless. We were surprised by how simple the ingredients were. Using green beans, almonds, olive oil and Dijon mustard, we’ve attached a recipe for an easy green bean salad.

Different Fruit Salads

One cannot go through the summer without indulging in seasonal fruits. So, this summer try to get creative with your fruit salads. Try a combination of fruits and berries that you have not tried before. For instance, try to mix feta cheese with watermelon, dragon fruit and star fruit, or strawberry with cherry mixed with rose water. Do not hold back this summer and enjoy a nice, fresh bowl of fruit salad
