Favorite Summer Salads + Spiel the Beans Linkup

· ·
Summer is my favorite time to eat salad!  All the items you need for a great salad are so fresh and easy to grab this time of year.  It’s also the time of year for cookouts and gatherings with friends and family and I’m always looking for just the right thing to bring along.  Here are a few of my go to salads.  
Years back I scrapbooked alot….like on full weekend retreats.  The coordinator always made the best food including this Strawberry Spinach Salad.  She used candied walnuts instead of pecans and always Brianna’s Poppyseed dressing to toss it in.  I could have survived on this alone!  This recipe from I Wash You Dry is very similar.  I have not made this in years and now I am craving it!  
This broccoli bacon salad from Yummy Healthy Easy  is definitely a family favorite and one my family knows they better be first in line to snag at a picnic.  We do not add dried cranberries typically to avoid the extra sugar plus we think it is sweet enough on it’s own.  
My families all around favorite is this tortellini pasta salad.  It is so easy to make and so incredibly delicious.  I never have leftovers if I arrive with this one.  
See all the yummy salads I’ve been pinning by following my salad board!
