When the weather turns warm, I start craving two things: crisp, colorful salads and light, fresh seafood. Lucky for us, the two go hand-in-hand. These bright and delicious summer salad recipes are exactly the kind of meals I want to be eating all season long—fresh, satisfying, and Mediterranean diet–approved. Whether you’re tossing in briny shrimp, smoked salmon, or grilled tuna, these healthy summer salad recipes are full of seasonal flavor and easygoing summer energy.

One of the core principles of the Mediterranean diet is eating more fish and seafood—and summer is the perfect time to do just that. Not only is it peak season for many types of fish, but turning on the oven feels like the last thing any of us want to do. Salads are a breezy, no-fuss way to add more seafood to your plate, and these recipes make the most of summer’s bounty: juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, crisp greens, and herbs galore.
So whether you're looking for a quick lunch, an easy dinner, or something beautiful to bring to a picnic or barbecue, this collection of salads with seafood has you covered. From zesty shrimp and avocado salads to Mediterranean-inspired tuna concoctions, these dishes are all about flavor, freshness, and simplicity—just the way summer cooking should be.
