One of my favorite recipes and it only takes 15 minutes to make! I absolutely love this air fryer with honey sriracha salmon. It is perfect paired with cauliflower rice or regular rice. It has an avocado pineapple salsa on top that is versatile so save that recipe to use on a bunch of other recipes! You will want to make this salmon once a week. Not only is it so tasty, you don’t have to turn on your oven.

Easy Gluten Free Pasta Salad

I love this easy gluten free pasta salad recipe because it’s loaded with vegetables and really simple to make. All you have to do is boil some pasta and chop your veggies, that’s it! I like simple recipes in the summer because who wants to spend hours in the kitchen when it’s so hot? No thank you. This recipe doesn’t require you to turn your oven on either which is nice.

Salmon Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

This salmon salad with green goddess dressing is a 15 minute meal that is so tasty! You don’t need much time or many ingredients to make this meal. Also who says you have to just make it a salad?! Make the salmon and the dressing to throw in a wrap, sandwich, etc. The possibilities are endless! I like that this dressing is oil free, it feels a little lighter for summer!
