Look no further for salad inspiration. With a wide variety of seasonal ingredients, all these salads from Giada pair perfectly with some springtime sunshine.

Escarole & Tomato Salad

This light salad is just right for a day out in the sun. Mint, sweet cherry tomatoes, savory Castelvatrano olives nestled with some creamy avocado make this the perfect Italy-Meets-California lunch.

Whipped Ricotta Salad

This is a spring favorite! Any salad that starts off with a cloud-like bed of whipped, fluffy ricotta is a win in our book.
 

By melding the produce of spring and summer together, this salad is a great bridge between the seasons. Grilled melon with lime and spice is the sweet star of the dish, and makes a great unexpected pair with savory, tender asparagus.

Italian tuna salad, meet pasta salad! This dish gets some extra flavor from artichokes, briney capers and sweet seasonal tomatoes.
 

Antipasto Salad

The salad for salad-haters. No lettuce is involved! This quintessential Italian-picnic staple is loaded with everything we love in antipasti, tied together with fusilli and a flavorful vinaigrette.
