25 Summer Salads for a BBQ

Refresh your party spread with these 25 Summer Salads for a BBQ! Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a fresh salad because raw vegetables truly are at their peak ripeness!

Can you believe it’s September?? And can you believe it’s already Labor Day?! This summer FLEW by (surprise, surprise), and I don’t know about you, but for me it was full of food, friends, travel, relaxation, and more food! 

I’m not too sure how I feel about this late to the party summer Labor Day. Yes, the unofficial end to summer is prolonged, but I’m already knee deep in new classes and I’m pretty sure there’s not a school around that is yet to be in session.

Despite my sharpened pencils, we still need to give summer an ((unofficial)) goodbye. 

And what better way to do that than with one last backyard BBQ hurrah! 

While I cannot wait for pumpkin, apple, and cranberry everything, let’s relish in the flavors of sweet summer one last time and celebrate Labor Day with these veggie-rific meat free salad recipes for Labor Day you didn’t even know you needed at your party…
