When the temperatures rise and we get into the longer days of summer, I love to take a break from turning on the oven to try to keep the heat under control. This means we eat lots of sandwiches, cold pastas, and fresh salads in the summertime. I created my classic summer salad as a way to incorporate all the colors and flavors of summer into one delicious and easy recipe that can be thrown together in less than 10 minutes. You can mix and match the ingredients to your preference (swap the goat cheese for feta) and it is also great meatless!
Below is my best summer salad recipe. Let me know if you try it!
