These delicious salad recipes are perfect for easy weeknight dinners or for meal prepping lunches.
I am not sure what the weather is like where you live, but we have been having record high temperatures. It is so hot I don’t want to eat, let alone turn on the oven and cook. I just want to lay under a ceiling fan sucking on crushed ice. Unfortunately, my family doesn’t consider crushed ice a meal.
Thank goodness for salads! I can feed my family a “real meal” without heating up the kitchen. If you are looking for light, easy dinners or refreshing side dishes that don’t heat up the kitchen why don’t you try one of these salad recipes?
