I love light and refreshing salads in the summer. When it’s hot outside and you don’t want to heat up the kitchen to make a side dish, just throw this baby together.
Make this salad for a neighborhood barbecue, picnic with the kids, or just dinner at home. It’s one of those salads that you will want to make again and again because it goes well with everything and really hits the spot!
With love from my kitchen to yours,
