Does this summer’s heatwave have you saying, turn the oven off? I know firsthand how the heat can affect our desire to spend time cooking but don’t fret! CSA boxes, farmers’ markets and garden bounties make this the perfect time to enjoy a yummy salad for lunch or dinner. Here are a few easy and delicious salad recipes guaranteed to be crowd-pleasers at meal time.
