Summer Chicken Salads

Salads that never feel like a compromise

When the days get long and hot, the last thing I want is to stand over a stove. That's exactly how this little collection came to be — fifteen chicken salads that come together with fresh, simple ingredients and, more often than not, no cooking at all.

There's a salad here for every kind of summer craving. Something sweet and fruity with strawberries or mango. Something bold and smoky with BBQ or Tex-Mex flavors. Something cool and creamy for the hottest afternoons. Most start with cooked or rotisserie chicken, so dinner is really just a matter of tossing everything together.

Keep this on your phone or print it for the fridge. I hope it makes feeding your people on a warm evening feel easy, fresh, and just a little bit joyful.

With love, Shilpa
