Hope y’all are enjoying your summer! We sure are! We have been going non stop with swimming, movies, gymnastics, crossfit, dance, and hanging out with friends and it is only June 🙂 I wouldn’t have it any other way!
As usual in the summer I am one not to spend much time in the kitchen. I want easy light meals, preferably on the grill. I whipped up this salad the other day and it was so good I had to make it again.
This salad is great for leftovers for lunch or perfect for summer picnic.
