Beat the heat this summer by stepping up your salad game. Not only are salads a healthy meal option, they are simple to prepare, extremely versatile and a refreshing alternative to hot dishes when the weather is balmy.
By changing up the type of greens, fresh produce or dressings you incorporate into your salads, you can create a variety of flavors. And by adding your favorite protein, you can make it a complete meal.
