Fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes are my favorite ingredient in a summer salad…especially tomatoes from our backyard. You can taste the sweetness and goodness in every bite.
love the tortilla chips that add a nice crunchy texture in the salad!
Corn and tortilla chips is a greaat combo!
Sweet red juicy strawberries put the summer in salads for me!
Well, throw Bacon into anything and I’ll love it! Bacon bits (the real stuff) and Almonds are what make my salads delish!
I love cheese of any kind in my salad – especially crumbled goat cheese – yummy!

I love corn in my salad, the kernels give it a nice texture and adds sweetness to the salad.
I like a bit of crunch on my salad, so deep fried noodles or sunflower seeds or toasted pine nuts usually do the trick!
My favorite summer time salad ingredient is definetly Fresh Strawberries.
AVACADO! I’m obsessed with it this summer. It makes every salad special with it’s creamy texture and delicate flavour. So glad to hear McD’s has a southwest salad. I’m sure avacado will be in there too!

I love avocado, corn, cheese and fried chicken strips with my salad … yummers!
BLUEBERRIES! Ah yes, they are MAGIC, especially when paired with toasted pecans.
mmmm avocadoes!
Arugula.
Rasins, or even better, dried cranberries give my summer salads a sweet treat.
My favorite ingredient is actually two – they’re tied. Fresh-picked tomatoes, or beautifully ripe and red strawberries. No need for dressing with either of these – just add the tomatoes or strawberries (or both!) and enjoy!
I just discovered bluberries chicken and black bean make a wonderful combo on mixed greens!!!
Avocado!
My favorite salad ingredient is goat cheese, mmm, yummy. Especially when paired with blueberries and sauteed chicken. Don’t even need salad dressing with this delicious salad!!
We love adding warmed berries, goat cheese and toasted pine nuts – mmmmm delicious!
My favourite salad ingredient is Craisins. Those little cranberries are great in a chicken salad. MMMM
I have so many favourites it’s hard to pick one! I love all fruit, especially strawberries or pears. And you can’t go wrong with cheese, especially goat cheese. And last but not least, nuts are a necessity, either pine nuts or pecans are my faves. Yum salads!
Favorite salad of all time has strawberries, goat cheese and candied pecans! Yum!
Chickpeas! Oh, and maybe some sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
We add different nuts, as well as soybeans (dried) or dried edamame. Many of these come in different flavours too, which add to the salad.
My son and I adore fresh strawberries on our salad!
Watermelon and red onion are very tasty.
I love salad with goat cheese, strawberries, spinach and nuts!
blackberries and cashews!
Mangoes are a must…great in salads and in a salsa.

It’s basil all the way for me baby! And garden fresh tomatoes are nothing to scoff at either.

A salad is not a salad without the crunch, protein nutrition of any seeds: we love pistachios and pine nuts especially.
Fresh Avocado,black beans,and goat cheese are Fab in any salad!

I love any berries and feta cheese in my salads!
Feta cheese! Dried cranberries and sunflower seeds or toasted almonds are great too! Yum!
Anything with cool crispy veggies is great during the summer. Love it!
sesame coated cashew nuts in a strawberry, red onion and greens salad
Strawberries are our fave summer salad addition! There are so many great picnic spots around town. One that we recently discovered – atop Burnaby Mountain, near the Horizons restaurant. If you can make the hike up the huge hill with all your picnic gear (by the kiddie park), it is well worth the effort! The view is AMAZING – all the way down to English Bay and beyond!
my favourite salad ingredient: a light tangy dressing!
fresh mozzarella, red/yellow tomatoes and basil, with a drizzel of olive oil.
By far, i love sweet corn in my salads!
Fresh blueberries and raspberries, I throw them in every salad I make all summer long!
Love raisins, strawberries, dates, any nut and any cheese:)
Love any cheese or nut, raisins and fruits! Yum Yum.
ooooohhh has to be blueberries and raspberries! We have the most FABULOUS neighbours that lift my three daughters over the fence every afternoon to pick a bowl of each for dinner. SO wonderful, and so packed full of antioxidants!
My ultimate favarite items for a salad are: feta cheese, tomotoes and cucumbers. A must have for any salad, my daughter favorite are cucumber and tomotes from the garden.
Chickpeas to boost the fibre content and freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese…dee-lish ;-p
Summer to me is bbq chicken. Perched atop the yummy salad…my mouth is drooling just thinking about it…
A tasty cheese – I love a strong goat cheese best! It helps make a salad appetizing for people who don’t really like salads much (and helped me during my pregnancies when eating vegetables made me feel nauseas!) Toasted nuts are also an appetizing addition!
I know I’m supposed to live by the 100 mile diet so I love summer all the more. I get fresher produce and bake goods at farm markets and get the comfort of helping local farmers to.
I love avocado and sunflower seeds at a bit of crunch…Yum:)
I love adding toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds for that extra crunch & nutrition.
Strawberries or blueberries!
Spinach salad, topped with strawberries, goat cheese, candied walnuts and a light fruity vinagrette.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing is the best!
Sesame seeds, fried noodles, Cashews and an Oil/Soy sauce vinaigrette.
I like to put a lid on my salad. Keeps the flys off.
Some crunchy croutons and a nice vinaigrette dressing!
Nice strips of grilled chicken
Bacon bits all the way!
Lots of tomatoes and some creamy ranch dressing!
Nothing beats a plain ol caesar salad!
Bacon is an all season favorite for salads here! (I’m going against the grain with a less than healthy, but just as yummy choice! :) )
Favourite are chopped pecans which add a bit of crunch to the salad and a nutty flavour.
I love a salad with the usual fare lettuce ; tomato and cukes plus some bacon bits ranch dressing and cheddar cheese! Awesome!!

Fresh organic raspberries and blue cheese are my favourite summer salad ingredients.
ditto all of the above but in the summer my salads often include whatever fruit is freshest at the Farmer’s MArket, maybe some goat cheese, and some slivered almonds. MMMMMMmmmm lunch yet?

dates…they add an extra sweetness to the salad.
grapes!
i love raspberry vinagrette dresing and cherry tomatoes
tortilla chips add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.

Nothing kicks up regular, everyday vegetables like a quick char on the BBQ! Corn, onions, peppers- even lettuce can be lightly oiled and grilled. Really makes the salad taste more summer-y!
My favorite part of the salad is the chicken. I am a dedicated carnivore and love the grilled chicken. I also love the tortilla chips. It adds a nice crunch!!
OOh i love the tortilla strips| yummy! i alwasys add a crunch item too
I’ve tried the Southwest salad with the chicken grilled. All was good except for the sauce and the chips – a bit too salty for my taste. Would love to try the other salads though.

Watermelon and Feta Cheese with a sprinkling of fresh basil…..Yum!
corn is a must, chicken, tomatoes, lettuce and lime juice with salt and pepper!
