Chill out. I’ve got your new favorite healthy side dishes for summer. Doesn’t that salad look bright and fresh? Summer is high time to make dishes ahead and pop them in the fridge.  The summer heat also means it’s the season for simple sides to shine that need less time in the kitchen.  Easy summer side dishes are especially welcome on a busy holiday weekend like July 4th.

I love this farro salad all summer long and it’s a great alternative to potato salad or macaroni salad. Read on for a bushel basket of easy summer side dishes including this toothsome Farro Salad with pecans, carrots, and celery with golden raisins. (Don’t worry – I’ve got you covered with the traditional classics, too.)
