Summer is the time of short dresses, crop tops, shorts and obviously swimsuits. We want to look good and feel good. The problem is – we tend to not be very hungry when it’s hot outside, so instead of having full meals we tend to snack on all sorts of cold treats like ice-cream, frozen yoghurt, slushies, etc.
And while those things are yummy, they aren’t exactly a healthy and nutritious meal that our body needs. In fact these types of things tend to cause a lot of bloating and water retention, and who wants that?
So instead Colossus Gists kitchen offer you a selection of delicious summer salads that will satisfy your hunger without causing any problems. They’re light, they’re filling, and they’re good for you, so take a look.
This twist on a classic Cobb salad is everything you need this summer. It’s got fruits, veggies and protein to satisfy all your body’s needs. It’s flavorful, refreshing and will keep you full for hours. Who knew adding strawberries could transform a salad so much, am I right?
This is a true summer classic. Fresh tomatoes and basil, delicious mozzarella and a hint of sweetness from the reduced balsamic dressing make this salad a crowd’s favorite. Speaking of the dressing, check out the recipe above, because that’s what makes this salad special.
We strongly believe that summer salads should have a hint of sweetness in them and this salad definitely fits this requirement. Grilled pineapple, mango, cherry tomatoes and lots of salad greens, drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkles with some macadamia nuts are a great flavor combo.
This salad is not only very colorful, but also incredibly yummy and nutritious. Black beans and shrimps provide more than enough proteins, cherry tomatoes and romaine lettuce adds a little fresh crunch, the corn adds a bit of sweetness and avocado provides healthy fats. It even includes a little tequila to cook the shrimp. Intrigued? Check the recipe above.
