Nectarine Salad with Strawberry Basil Dressing is

Nectarine Salad with Strawberry Basil Dressing is the summer salad dreams are made of! 🥗 You’ll LOVE the combo of arugula, nectarines, cucumber, avocado, strawberry and little mozzarella balls! 🍓🍑🥒🥑🥬🧀 I meal prep the dressing ahead of time so I can whip it up in a pinch for a super easy weeknight dinner that feels extra special. 💫

If you bring this to your next get together, all of your family and friends will think you’re a rockstar, but you and I will know how easy it really was. 🤫. If you’re looking for the perfect side to go with some smokey grilled chicken, this is it! 🍗

You can swap nectarines for peaches, or goat cheese for the mozz, or spring mix for the arugula. 🧀🥬🍑Either way, it’s still going to be amazing!

Make sure you save so you can make this strawberry basil alllll summer long! 🙌🍓

*Strawberry Basil Dressing*
•2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
•1/4 cup fresh basil
•1 whole lemon, zested and juiced
•1/2 tsp dijon mustard
•2 tbsp red wine vinegar
•1/4 cup olive oil
•1/2 tsp kosher salt
•1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Blend until smooth in a blender or food processor. Taste and adjust if necessary! Enjoy!

Remember that delicious blackened salmon from our

Remember that delicious blackened salmon from our meal prep that we ate yesterday? Here’s the leftover salmon repurposed into a beautiful and light kale salad with citrus and avocado. 🥗🥑🍊🍋

Whenever I meal prep salmon, I make sure to undercook it, knowing that I will be reheating it later on. Unlike chicken or pork, it’s perfectly safe to eat medium rare salmon (just like you can eat raw salmon in sushi!). However, it can dry out easily if you let it cook too long which is why a meat thermometer is your best friend. Luckily, you can always just keep your salmon cold for this salad so don’t fret if you cooked it through the first time around.

This salad was inspired by a similar one from @halfbakedharvest who always has the best recipes. The bright citrus segments and creamy avocado add such a nice contrast to the slightly spicy blackened salmon. A zippy citrus vinaigrette made from fresh lemon and orange juice and zest keeps things super light. 🍋🍊I added some of our shredded red cabbage to add even more crunch and a beautiful pop of purple!

Since we prepped the salmon, cabbage and citrus vinaigrette ahead of time, all we had to do was segment the orange and slice up some avocado.

Boom! 💥 Dinner ready in just 5 min! Make sure you save this one for an easy weeknight salad!

Are you team “spend the weekend cooking” or team “spend the weekend playing”? Im just so excited the weekend is here! But even though I have all the time in the world to cook, doesn’t mean I necessarily want to! It will be 80 degrees here in Seattle and the thought of going on a bike ride, or building sand castles down at the beach sounds a lot more inviting. 🚴‍♀️😎

Luckily, this beautiful and summery meal is super meal prep friendly! The blackened salmon, mango salsa and creamy coconut lime cauliflower rice was all prepped ahead of time. 🐟So all there is left to do is reheat and plate! Boom, dinner served!

You can find all three recipes on SimpleSpoonfuls.com or click the link in bio to watch it all come together in my step by step meal prep video.

I hope you all have an amazing and fun filled weekend my friends! 😘

Happy Thursday! Here is meal #2 from the Summer Me

Happy Thursday! Here is meal #2 from the Summer Meal Prep Plan: Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas with Mashed Avocado and Lime Crema 💫🥑🍤🌮

This dish has the most amazing textures of crunchy and creamy. The chipotle shrimp have a little heat to them but the tangy lime crema cools it down. 🍤You can watch how it all comes together in my YouTube video linked in my bio but since we prepped ahead of time, this delicious dinner took less than 10 minutes to whip up!

I don’t know about you, but a 10 minute dinner is pretty damn heavenly after a long work day! Or if you’re in the stage of life with young kids and making dinner can feel impossible, I strongly suggest trying my meal prepping methods. It was a life changer for me and I know it will help take the overwhelm out of meals for you too! 💪

Remember the healthy summer meal plan I posted thi

Remember the healthy summer meal plan I posted this weekend? I was VERY surprised that this Lemongrass chicken quinoa power bowl turned out to be one of my fave dishes from the batch! 🥗 With our prep, it only took 5 minutes to toss together too!

We combined quinoa with shredded red cabbage and raw broccoli stem (so it didn’t go to waste when we roasted the florets) for a light and crunchy base. 🥦 Then we marinated chicken tenders in a blend of flavorful lemongrass, soy, fish sauce, maple syrup and lime and grilled to perfection. 🍗

A healthy drizzle of citrus vinaigrette made from fresh lemon, orange and garlic keeps it light and bright while adding a punch of flavor! 🍋🍊🧄

If you want a lunch that fuels you up without weighing you down, this is it!

We prepped all these ingredients ahead of time but you could take it a step further and buy the broccoli slaw mix in a bag and shred up rotisserie chicken so all you need is the dressing and quinoa and you’re ready to go! 🏃‍♀️ Enjoy!

I’ll be sharing the recipes from my summery mix and match meal prep menu all week so stay tuned!

I polled my followers recently about what motivate

I polled my followers recently about what motivates them to meal prep and *every*single*one* said “eating healthier.” I've been thinking a lot about what "eating healthy" really means and I believe it's a deeply personal answer. I'll go first. 🙋‍♀️

To me eating healthy means:
-Balance! I don't eat salad for every meal but I try to balance making better choices with a few indulgences here and there so I'm not totally depriving myself.
-Less meat & more veggies! I'm far from being vegetarian, but I do make a conscious effort to eat less meat, especially red meat, for both health and environmental reasons.
-Focusing on fueling my body and mind with foods that pack a nutritious punch! I'm all about eating the rainbow. 🌈
-More homecooked meals, less eating out. Anytime you can eat a homecooked meal you can control exactly what goes into it and you can control your portions! You know why restaurant food tastes so good? Lots of butter!!! 🧈
-Eating whole foods and not reaching for premade freezer meals. Again this goes back to having more control over what you're putting in your body and freezer meals are often loaded with sodium and preservatives.

When I meal prep, I have nutritious food readily available at my fingertips so it's as easy as possible for my family and I to make good food choices.

So, I'm dying to know: What does eating healthy look like to you?

I’m never not craving this Mediterranean shrimp and white bean salad! 🍤🥗. It just happens to be perfect for an easy but impressive Friday night dinner. 🙌. While it sounds like a unconventional combo, I will make you a believer with this dish!

Garlicky shrimp and white beans are showered in fresh lemon and herbs and scattered over a bed of fresh arugula. 🍋🥬🧄 Sundried tomatoes add an unexpected pop of richness. 🍅

Incredibly simple but big on flavor, this Mediterranean inspired dish is just what you need this summer with a crisp glass of Sauvignon blanc! 🥂
