You’ll find seafood and chicken options, crisp veggies, and dressings that can double as marinades or sandwich spreads. Everything’s either served cold or quick to prep, so you’re spending less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying summer.

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.
