summer salad
Warm-weather bowl
A summer salad is a cold dish featuring seasonal produce—tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, stone fruits, fresh herbs—typically served during warm months.
The term suggests something light and refreshing rather than a specific recipe: We threw together a summer salad with whatever was ripe in the garden.
Contrast with heartier winter salads built around grains or roasted vegetables.
