There is no time better than the summer for delicious, fresh salads! Don’t get stuck with a boring old green salad- mix it up with new flavor combinations and take advantage of the wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables that are available at this time of year.
These amazing summer salad recipes are perfect for a summer picnic or BBQ, or just a quick and easy lunch or dinner idea. I think I could pretty much eat these all summer long – it is the one time of the year that I don’t have any problem getting my recommended daily fruit and vegetable quota in!
