Salads That Actually Feel Like Dinner
There’s a point in the summer where I just want dinner to feel lighter. Our St. Louis summers are HOT, and a cool salad is just what I need.
Something fresh, simple, and still satisfying — not just a side salad, but a meal you actually look forward to.
These are the kinds of salads I make on repeat this time of year. They’re easy, full of flavor, and perfect for warm nights when you don’t want to cook anything heavy.

Zucchini Ricotta Salad
Light, creamy, and very summery. The ricotta makes it feel a little more special while still staying fresh. This is one of my most classic recipes - if you've never tried it, give it a shot!

These are the kinds of meals that make summer cooking feel easy — fresh ingredients, simple prep, and dinner that doesn’t feel heavy.
If you try one of these, I’d love to know which one you make.
Happy Cooking!
