Salad Season is Here: 3 Simple Summer Salad Recipes

Summer is Salad Season

Summer is Salad Season 〰️


Like all of you (I’m sure), I cannot express how grateful I am that summer (well, okay, at least spring) is finally approaching!

To me, that means storing the winter coat and boots and getting outside to enjoy the sun’s warmth and all that Mother Nature has to offer. This year, spring seems a little more special than what we’ve had the last couple of years.

What I’m also looking forward to this year are several camping adventures and my favourite summer salads.

If you’d like to come along on our camping excursions to see where we go, what we eat, and how I cook healthy meals outdoors, you’re in luck! I’m happy to announce a new YouTube series I am about to launch - called “HappiHuman Unleashed.” So be sure to head over to my YouTube channel (yes, I have a YouTube channel!) and subscribe so I can take you along!

If you have any meal suggestions you’d like to see me make (or attempt) while I’m on the road, then comment below and I’ll do my best to accommodate!

In the meantime, I thought I’d gather a few of my favourite summer salads and share the recipes with you here - whether you decide to make them at home or on the road, they all make wonderful, delicious, and nutritious meals that also happen to be super easy!

First up - who doesn’t love a good Caesar?

Chicken Caesar Salad

This Caesar salad recipe is fairly easy to make and pairs well with grilled chicken, sautéed shrimp, BBQ’d steak, or roasted chickpeas.

It’s gluten-free and free from added sugars - in fact the same can be said for each of the following recipes. After all, who needs croutons when a salad is super tasty as is?

Genius tip: As you’re making the Caesar dressing, before whisking olive oil into the egg mixture, place the bowl you’re using on a rubber trivet or mat. This way, the bowl won’t spin as you whisk with one hand and pour oil with the other.

Steak & Blue Cheese Salad

This summer salad sensation is one of my all-time favourites!

It combines a lightly-marinated then BBQ’d flank steak with blue cheese and a mild creamy balsamic dressing. The flavours meld perfectly to create a main course salad your whole family will love (and ask for again and again).

I find flank steak provides the best results, but you can certainly use chicken or any kind of steak you have on hand (cooking times may vary based on thickness and type).

What exactly is Neuronutrition?

Simply put, Neuronutrition is food for the brain. We utilize a four-prong targeted approach to nourish the mind and promote optimal neurological health. Our approach includes:

• Feeding the brain specific nutrients it needs to function optimally

• Removing certain foods that are toxic to or damage the brain

• Making simple lifestyle tweaks

• Adding the right targeted supplements for you, as needed

The right nutrients for the brain will increase neurotransmitters that positively affect mood, cognition, and energy levels. At the same time, proper neuronutrition will increase cerebral blood flow, reduce oxidative damage, and minimize inflammation in the brain, all while restoring energy production, improving memory, and enhancing cognitive function.

All this can lead to:

• No more brain fog

• Improved mental clarity

• Reduced anxiety and depression

• Improved memory

• Better sleep

• Better focus and concentration

• More energy

• Reduced neurofatigue

• Fewer headaches

• Greater vitality

Neuronutrition has extensive and far-reaching effects. It can benefit anyone, especially:

• Those who want to look and feel their best for as long as possible

Steak and Blue Cheese

Blueberry Goat Cheese Salad

This is another classic! You can’t go wrong with goat cheese and blueberries!

Again, this recipe uses the same light and creamy balsamic dressing as the steak salad. It’s versatile enough to be paired perfectly as a side salad to accompany any dish, or with the addition of your choice of protein, made larger and used as an entree salad.

Trust me when I say if you bring this salad to a summer gathering, the folks fortunate enough to enjoy it with you, will demand you bring the same thing the next time you get-together!

Enjoy these easy and delicious salads all summer long!
