Simple Summer Salad With Balsamic Vinaigrette

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Summer meals should be simple. This salad is no exception. With just 9 super fresh ingredients, it doesn’t take much to create a flavorful salad. I whipped this up after the farmers market for lunch because I just couldn’t wait to enjoy some of the fresh veggies we had just bought! Wash up the greens, chop the tomatoes, and mix the vinaigrette while the corn steams and you will be ready to enjoy this fresh salad in a matter of minutes.

Summer Salad with Corn, Arugula, and Balsamic Vinaigrette | Dietitian Debbie

I added a hard boiled egg for a bit of filling protein, but feel free to substitute with chopped chicken or tuna. If you want to make it vegan, skip the cheese and add tempeh or baked tofu as a protein topping. I have a feeling this will be a new go-to salad for me this summer! The recipe below makes two meal sized servings.
