These Spring Salad inspirations are not only bright and colorful, they are a delight to the taste buds! I love setting a beautiful table and having friends over in the backyard for wine, grilling, and a tasty salad!

When our days start getting longer and the sun is out and warm, I start craving all the bounty California has to offer. Spring salads are the toast of the town at my local Farmers Market. Click on the Salad for a FREE printable recipe.

If you love salads as much as I do here’s a great salad & wine pairing.

Here are five of my favorite Spring Salads

Strawberry Spinach Salad – You can’t go wrong with sweet strawberries, healthy spinach, zesty onions, feta and toasted pecans!

Orzo Salad with Shrimp & Lemon Dressing – I love this lemony, fresh green peas, orzo with shrimp! One tip, I grilled my shrimp for extra Spring flavor!

Grilled Green Bean, Fennel, & Farro Salad – This grilled green bean salad takes fennel and Farro to a whole new level!

Lemon Asparagus, Green Bean & Pea Salad – This salad is fresh greens at their best!

Sugar Snap Pea Salad – This fresh, crisp, tangy salad is a perfect side to grilled chicken or fish!
