If you are like my family you eat more salads in the summer than the other three seasons combined. When it's too hot to cook on anything besides the grill, summer salads are both our go-to side dishes and entrees. I wanted to make an easy to reference list of some great ideas for Healthy Summer Salads.
I have a large assortment of salads to share with you. I hope you get a chance to try them all over the next few hot months.
