Summer is here and the weather is warm and when it’s warm, I don’t want to cook. That’s why this week I have salads on the menu every night. From salmon and kale to a vegan chickpea caesar and a strawberry quinoa salad with pistachios, this week’s meal plan features in-season fruit and produce.

As with all of my weekly meal plans, proteins can be swapped out if you don’t like the protein in the recipe. I’m a pescatarian so if we’re having pork or chicken, I will usually substitute it for some white fish. Eat the protein you like. A meal plan will only work long term (and any fitness or wellness program) if you like the foods you’re eating. So take this and adjust as necessary. Just watch those macros!

Let me know what you’ll be eating this week! And if you make anything from this post, tag me on Instagram so I can share it with my followers (@kimberleykasper).

Monday

Seven net carbs. That’s amazing for a salad and this salad is sure to satisfy. This Salmon Kale Superfood Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette is sure to satisfy. It’s semi-homemade because you use a kale salad kit from the supermarket and then use some of the elements while adding others. The only time you need is to cook the salmon. Seriously easy (and delicious).

Tuesday

4 net carbs per serving makes this a perfect choice for Taco Tuesday! And there are so many options for you to make this Low Carb Taco Salad exactly as you want. Not doing dairy? Omit the cheese and sour cream. Don’t eat ground beef? Use ground turkey or tofu seasoned with taco seasoning. Load it up with those healthy avocado fats and this is a great low carb option for my clients.

Wednesday

This Crunchy Chickpea Vegan Caesar Salad is sure to be a hit! It’s satisfying, crunchy, fresh, and full of flavor. It can also be customized to meet your needs. Not a fan of vegan recipes? Add some grilled chicken or fish. Just make sure you massage the kale, as mentioned in the recipe, because that make a huge difference in the finished product. I can’t wait to hear how you guys like this one!

Thursday

One of my absolute favorite salads ever, the Loaded Sesame Ginger Salmon Salad is one of the best salads and is a crowd pleaser. I’ve made this for family dinners and dinner parties and it’s super simple to make, is gorgeous, and the taste is incredible.

Friday

Of course I’m deviating from salad week to give you the pizza of the week! I always have a side salad with pizza and any of the above salads would be great with this Healthy BBQ Chicken Pizza. Use the BBQ sauce in the recipe if you can and put this on a cauliflower or gluten-free crust. It’s a good one!

Saturday

I’m saving the best for last with this Strawberry Burrata Quinoa Salad with Pistachios. My clients will want to omit the burrata if they are going dairy free otherwise everything else in this recipe is good. Add some grilled salmon, chicken, flank steak or halibut if you need some extra protein to meet your macro goals. Delicious!
