This pretty salad board with greens, marinated peaches and fresh summer veggies is perfect for an evening outdoors–or serve it for a light, summery lunch. The creamy dressing can be made ahead to make assembly a breeze. Feel free to add additional vegetables to the board to make the most of all that summer has to offer.

 

10. Copycat McDonald’s Southwest Salad

If you were a fan of the McDonald’s Southwest Salad before it left the menu, this copycat recipe brings it all back with a few healthy twists. The creamy dressing keeps saturated fat and calories in check with reduced-fat sour cream combined with salsa to give it its signature spice. We loaded it up with plenty of veggies, but feel free to give it your own spin with chopped avocado or crushed tortilla chips for crunch. (Editor’s note: The title of this recipe does not align with EatingWell‘s practices for naming and attributing recipes but gives proper credit to McDonald’s menu, which called this dish “Southwest Salad.”)
