A colorful summer salad with tofu feta & edible flowers

This summer salad with tofu feta, golden kiwis and edible flowers is perfect for a lighter meal on sunny days or a work-from-home lunch.

Hello my beautiful friends, as Summer is upon us I can’t help myself but share with you more fresh, crispy, thirst-quenching salads…
Like most of you – I guess – during a heatwave I mostly crave light, healthy, and quick meals. I don’t have the desire to spend half an hour or more sweating behind the stove, and I prefer to have easy but satisfying meals like these Easy Vegan Summer lunch ideas in under 10 minutes.

And at the end of a day with temperatures above 25°C/77°F there’s nothing quite as refreshing as a Summer Salad to replenish your body. This colorful Summer Salad with Tofu Feta holds some of the season’s best offerings including crispy lettuce, sun-drenched golden kiwis, edible flowers, protein-packed tofu feta, freshly squeezed lemon juice and more.
And if you’re looking for more meal ideas, foods to eat, shopping list, etc. check out Katie’s Vegan for beginners complete guide.

It’s perfect for days when you want to add a healthy dish to your Vegan charcuterie board, or for an easy meal when you can’t get food on the table fast enough. The keywords here are: simple, fast, nutritious, colorful, and yummy. And if you want more exotic flavors, try this Thai-inspired Vegan Papaya Salad in 15 minutes from Vegan Punks.

The advantage with this summer salad is that you can prepare your tofu feta in advance (it will keep up to a week in the fridge) and add the fresh ingredients at the very last moment. Quite practical, wouldn’t you agree?

I chose to decorate it with edible flowers because it’s the right season to do so, and I have plenty in the garden, but these are optional! Click here to read this post for even more edible flower recipes.

This salad has everything you need to really fill you up (tofu/protein, raw greens/fibers and vitamins, nuts and seeds/healthy fats, fresh fruit and citrus for even more nutrients).

This summer salad is already bursting with flavors, so no need for a fancy vinaigrette.  Enjoy it with a simple squeeze of fresh lemon.
