Summer lovin’, had me a blast … while eating salad?

Yep, that’s right! You’ll love beef all summer long when you pair it with crisp, light salads for a healthy meal.

Let’s admit it. Sometimes salads can be boring. And while necessary to eat healthy and watch our summer waistlines, salad can sometimes be the last thing you want if you can also choose a juicy burger.

But don’t worry – your next salad doesn’t have to be boring! Enter Certified Hereford Beef.
Here are five creative summer salad recipes that utilize beef to provide you with a salad that is equally as filling as it is delicious!

1. East Meets West Steak Salad: This salad packs a punch with protein and is drizzled in an Asian-style dressing.



2. Beef, Tomato and Cucumber Salad: This light and refreshing beef salad is a spin on the classic cucumber and tomato salad. Just add beef and feta cheese crumbles – voila! This side salad is turned into a main dish.



3. Steak and Watermelon Salad: Stay with us on this one – while these two ingredients may seem like polar opposites, you’ll love the combination of sweet and savory.



4. Beef Fajita Lettuce Wraps: Okay .. this one is technically not a salad. But it does include lettuce and is healthy. So count it as a win!

5. Mediterranean Beef Salad: This salad option switches it up and uses ground beef instead of steak. It’s a great summery salad with veggies, feta cheese crumbles and Italian dressing.



The next time you are at the grocery store – pick up some Certified Hereford Beef, veggies, and maybe a new salad dressing – and enjoy!
