Are you bringing a salad to Christmas lunch this year? 

There’s nothing quite like a summer salad. Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and creamy dressing come together to create the perfect light meal. But what’s the secret to making the perfect summer salad? Here are five tips that will help you make a classic summer salad that’s sure to please.

  1. Use quality ingredients. This is the most important tip for making any salad, but it’s especially important for summer salads. When produce is in season, it tastes its best, so take advantage of summer’s bounty to make your salad.
  2. Keep it simple. A summer salad should be light and refreshing, so avoid adding too many ingredients. A few well-chosen items will give you all the flavour you need without weighing down your salad.
  3. Let the produce shine. With such great ingredients available in summer, there’s no need to dress up your salad with complicated toppings or sauces. Keep it simple and let the produce speak for itself.
  4. Season carefully. A little salt and pepper can go a long way in bringing out the flavours of your ingredients, so don’t be afraid to season your salad generously. However, be careful not to overdo it – a few turns of the seasoning shaker is all you need.

5. Serve chilled. Summer salads are best when served cold or at least cool, so be sure to chill your ingredients before assembling your salad. This will help keep everything fresh and crisp, and it will make your salad even more refreshing on a hot summer day.
