It is always good to have a lot of different salad recipes for the hot weather days. Thanks for posting this round-up.
sounds great 🙂
Mmmmm! I make a similar cucumber salad, which is one of my favorites. But I’m always looking for new ways to make things like macaroni salad interesting. Thanks for the round up. It’s salad season, for sure.
My Mom would love those Cucumber salads. I love a good macaroni salad! So, we are both set, lol.
I have made the pistachio salad for years and it is always a big hit. I could eat salads all summer long.
Yum! Great summer salad recipes, I’d love to try the Easy Pistachio Salad Recipe. Thank you for sharing these recipe links.
Yes I’ve switched to lukewarm tea since I don’t like the ice and it’s too hot for boiling hot tea. Heat kills my appetite but cold veggies with yogurt are OK. From the forecast, yesterday was the hottest and it will get a few degrees cooler over the weekend, which I will gladly take.
I think I am going to make that cucumber salad recipe today! That sounds so good and perfect for this weather. I has been 108 degrees here for several days and cooking anything makes me sick to my stomach so this recipe sounds cool and refreshing thanks for sharing. Stay COOL out there and have a great weekend.
I love the Taco Salad Recipe!!!
