In This Meal Plan

The week starts off strong with a classic shrimp Louie salad; cool, creamy, and packed with texture. Shrimp salad sandwiches make a perfect next-day dinner with hardly any extra work. For something bold and herb-heavy, the chicken larb salad brings heat and crunch.

Then it’s onto chicken Caesar sandwiches (yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s good), and finally a summery salmon and strawberry salad that’s as pretty as it is satisfying. For dessert? Homemade strawberry popsicles; sweet, simple, and exactly what you want at the end of a hot day.
