Summer is just around the corner, which means it's time to adjust our palettes from warm winter meals to the more crisp and exciting fresh summer salads.
During the warmer months, it can be difficult to find the time or the energy to cook a hot meal, but it's still important to consume healthy and nutritious foods. Fresh summer salads are easy to make and refreshing to eat. The high water content in leafy green vegetables will keep you hydrated, and the antioxidants will keep your skin glowing.
Fresh summer salads are an easy to make, and one recipe makes several servings. If you're expecting guests or just need to fill up on good stuff, try tossing up a fresh salad and be prepared to feel rejuvenated.
