I always love a good salad, but especially in the summertime when produce is fresh and in season, I tend to REALLY crave a refreshing salad. Serve these summer salad recipes as a main dish or a side, at brunch or barbecues! We have a recipe for every occasion. Why we love summer salads:
Feast for the eyes. The colors of summer and spring salad recipes are as beautiful as they are tasty. Homemade dressings.
