 Let’s
face it…it’s hot outside! Now’s the time to
look for light meals that won’t weigh you down —
and preferably meals that don’t require the oven or stove-top!
There are many wonderfully light gluten-free dishes that can
be prepared with ease. Salads are the obvious first choice
for a light summer meal. But just because you opt for salad
for dinner, doesn’t mean that the salad has to consist
of only greens and a few summer vegetables. Get creative.
Top your salad with grilled meats or fish, roasted peppers,
exotic vinaigrettes and dressings. Add a touch of fruit for
an interesting flavor contrast.
Here are some of our favorite summer salads
that are still hearty enough to satisfy as a whole meal:
