My Best Memorial Day Salad Suggestions

Memorial Day and BBQ's seem to go hand in hand.  Whether you are the host or the guest, you may be making a salad to serve or to bring. I've rounded up eight of my best salad suggestions for the occasion that will work for your vegetarian, vegan , and gluten free guests! I love all of these real food salads. They are easy to make, beautiful to serve, tasty and nutritious.  Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Asian Slaw Salad- This is one of our favorites, and it is perfect for a crowd. Easy to make and very tasty, everyone will love this holiday slaw classic. Kale and Blueberry Salad- Kale is all the rage and it should be. After all, it's highly nutritious, hardy, looks appealing and holds up well in salads. I love it combined with sweet blueberries and this creamy orange dressing ( vegan) .  Quinoa Lovers Salad- If you are looking for a salad to provide a little protein, then quinoa has you covered. This delightful salad is tossed with fresh spinach and roasted beets. - delish Skinny Potato Salad ( made with Cauliflower)- Everyone loves potato salad, but not the carbs! This tasty look alike can fool even the most discerning. Substitutes cooked cauliflower for potatoes Waldorf Broccoli Slaw- Easy and delicious. Open a bag of broccoli slaw and mix with fresh apple chunks, cashews, and a few other ingredients for a lovely side. Green Bean with Balsamic Reduction- Balsamic reduction is easy to make and provides a thicker sweeter balsamic sauce for your green beans. Top with feta if you like. Avocado Caprese Salad ( vegan)- This is the vegan version of Caprese Salad made by substituting avocado for mozzarella. Makes a beautiful presentation and there will not be a morsel left over.
