MY TOP THREE SUMMER SALADS
Okay, these are the summer salad recipes I eat on repeat, I can't get enough of them!
HEALTHY TUNA SALAD
My no-mayo, healthy Italian style tuna and bean salad is a total fave at my house! It takes minutes to make and I usually eat it just with some crackers, or sourdough bread and always a pile of pickled beets on the side. They just go so well.
And, it's one of those great salads you can eat with a spoon. And who doesn't love a lazy meal when the sun is shining.

ITALIAN RICE - SUMMER SALADS
Okay, so this is a side salad and I make it to go along side BBQ food mainly, but if I want a simple dinner I'll just throw some air fryer Italian seasoned chicken breasts in too. Simply sliced and stirred through.
