Summertime Salads

With the warmer days ahead, there is nothing better than a cold salad on a hot summer day. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, an easy lunch to pack for a family beach picnic or a colorful dish to bring to your next cookout, these salads are sure to hit the spot!

Here at the Georgia Peanut Commission, we believe that peanuts can be incorporated into almost every meal, so we encourage you to try out these unique salad recipes and experience the burst of flavor that peanuts add. Peanuts add the perfect crunch to your salad – once you try it, you won’t go back!

Peanuts and peanut products are superbly healthy. They are chock-full of nutrients like protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins & minerals. In fact, one ounce of peanuts—about a handful—contains 7 grams of protein.

So, with family picnics, beach days and vacations just ahead this summer, look for options to include peanuts in your salads. If you need quick and easy lunch ideas packed with nutrients, then check out these salad recipes. Soak up the summertime with these tasty, flavor-packed salad recipes!
