Summertime is barbecue time! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the smell of delicious grilled food is in the air. But while sausages and juicy steaks play the main role on the grill, there is a true hero who is often in the shadows: the delicious salad! Although it is sometimes dismissed as a side dish, salads deserve a very special place on the plate when grilled. Here are a few reasons why they simply can't be missed:

1. The ultimate flavor kick

If you think salads are boring, you definitely haven't tried the right creations yet. Fresh leaf salads with juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and creamy dressing provide a fresh and intense taste that harmonizes perfectly with the grilled food. But also vegetable salads with grilled peppers, zucchini or corn bring an aromatic variety to the plate that enchants every palate. The combination of warm grilled food and cool salad is simply unbeatable!

2. The perfect balance

Honestly, barbecuing can sometimes be a bit heavy on the stomach. Fatty sausages and spicy marinades can put a strain on the body. That's where salads come in! With their high content of fiber and vitamins, they bring the perfect balance to the plate. They provide freshness, lightness and bring a healthy touch to the barbecue party.

3. Creative diversity

Salads are true masters when it comes to variety. There are countless variations that can spice up the barbecue. How about a refreshing Chinese 'smashed' cucumber salad? Or a spicy coleslaw with blue cheese dressing? There are no limits to your imagination! Salads offer the opportunity to try out new flavor combinations and enhance the barbecue with culinary delights. And for those who prefer not to focus on creativity, but on classics, there are several reasons why you should not mix fruit with salad.

4. Conviviality at the salad buffet

Another great advantage of salads at the barbecue is the convivial atmosphere at the salad buffet. Imagine sitting in the garden with your friends, the sun is shining and you are enjoying the meal together. Everyone brings their favorite salad and a colorful selection of delicacies is created. You can exchange recipe ideas, try out the different creations and enjoy the meal in a convivial atmosphere. Salads bring people together and create a harmonious mood.

5. That little bit extra

In addition to all the practical reasons, there is another important aspect: salads give the barbecue that little bit extra. Because without salads, the grilled sausage is all alone on the plate.
