Beat the Heat with a Refreshing Summer Salad
July 10, 2024 | Healthy Recipes, Nourishing Lunches, Satisfying SaladsStay cool and nourished with this simple, delicious, and hydrating recipe!
Hello Stability Nutrition Friends,
Happy Wednesday!
With temperatures soaring into the triple digits, finding ways to stay cool and refreshed is a top priority. When the heat is on, there's nothing like a light and refreshing salad to keep you feeling nourished and hydrated. Today, I'm excited to share a simple and delicious recipe that has been my favorite all week: the Cooling Summer Tomato, Cucumber, and Avocado Salad.
A celebration of fresh summer produce, this salad combines juicy garden or heirloom tomatoes, crisp English cucumbers, and creamy avocados. Tossed in a light dressing of rice vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt, it's both flavorful and invigorating. The best part? It doesn't require a stove or oven, it's quick to make, and it keeps your kitchen cool and your prep time short.
Why You'll Love This Salad
It's Nutrient-Rich: Packed with vitamins and minerals, this salad provides a healthy dose of nutrients. Rich in potassium, and vitamins K and C, it supports overall health and keeps you feeling refreshed and energized.
It's Hydrating: This salad is incredibly hydrating thanks to the high water content of the tomatoes and cucumbers. Did you know that a cucumber is about 96% water? That's a lot! :) This salad is the perfect way to stay hydrated and refreshed on a hot summer day.
There's No Oven or Stove Required: This recipe is completely oven and stove free, making it ideal for those sweltering days when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.
It Has Versatile Pairing Options: This salad pairs beautifully with white beans and greens, your favorite grilled protein - anything from chicken, fish, or tofu - or even a simple quinoa dish.
