10 Spinach Salad Recipes That Are Perfect for Summer

This salad has it all: sweet flavors, savory flavors, acidic flavors, and even fresh minty flavors that come together to create the perfect summer salad. Some reviewers like to serve this salad with a soft cheese (like feta or goat cheese) as a garnish.

Looking for an easy salad? How about this four-ingredient peach, pecan, and poppyseed dressing spinach salad? For even more flavor, try grilling the peaches first before adding them to the salad.

Christina's Salad is loaded with flavors from the sweet and savory dressing down to the toasted pecans and goat cheese on top. Sure, there are tons of strawberry spinach salads out there, but reviewers say the balsamic vinegar dressing is what makes this one a winner.

“I love the freshness of the berries, with the creaminess of the cheese, and crunch from the almonds! This is my perfect salad — and it is a fabulous base for some pan seared salmon, grilled shrimp, or chicken if you’d prefer to make it a heartier entr?e salad,” says Allrecipes Allstar Rebekah Rose Hills.

Pan-fried halloumi paired with sweet nectarines makes this salad the ultimate summer side. Plus, you'll love the textural difference between the soft nectarines and the crunchy almonds and bell peppers.

Be prepared to feel like you're on an island in the sun with this tropical salad. It's topped with shrimp, mangos, dried banana chips, coconut, and macadamia nuts, and finished off with a drizzle of the orange and pineapple juice dressing.

With just a few ingredients, you’ll have this deliciously different grilled asparagus salad ready to serve. “I’ve made this several times both with grilled and saut?ed asparagus. Every time I have found it immensely enjoyable. It makes a very good, refreshing, citrusy salad that is perfect for summer,” says reviewer JUANPOUSSIN.
