Looking to loose a few before it’s time to pull on the swimsuit? Check out these delicious spring salad recipes!
It seems like every winter a few extra pounds creep on…It’s a combination of all the cozy home-style meals that I like to cook in the winter months and the lack of walks I get in with Jersey.
I’ve started working for swimsuit weather a bit earlier here (it’s not truly warm enough for the pool until late May), which involves a lot of lettuce – ha!
Today I am sharing 12 light and tasty spring salad recipes I have on the meal plan this next month.
Spring Salad Recipes
There’s nothing that shouts spring more than yummy berries. This list includes several salads staring berries, but also includes a few more savory bites as well.
Spring Salad Recipes with Berries
Strawberry spinach salad is one of my favorites, but I usually make it with a poppy seed dressing. I am looking forward to trying it with a lower-calorie balsamic.

Blueberries are my niece’s FAVORITE. In hopes that they may be by for an afternoon, I nearly always keep them in the house. I can’t wait to use them in this fresh salad.

Thanks Elyisa! I love salads in the summer and I am solidly gearing up for warmer weather, even though it doesn’t really ARRIVE in Utah until later in the “spring.” Where are you located? xo Tauni
