I love to eat all kinds of salads in the summer. Pulling and eating veggies and fruit out of the garden is something I look forward to every year. Anything heavy in this hot weather just doesn’t appeal to me. Here’s an oldie, but goodie, recipe from my grandmother. It’s a great standby recipe that I use for most family gatherings and is a huge hit.
