SUMMER SALADS

During these Summer months if you are anything like myself, you don't feel like eating much of anything.  I usually just want to drink something COLD.  Now is the time that your ice machine on your refrigerator door comes in quite handy.

There are many varieties of salads you can make.  I like to incorporate fruit in my salads, it not only makes the salad interesting and colorful but it taste good too!  Next time you go to prepare your Summer salad try some cut up strawberries, blueberries, pears, peaches.  Vegetables to add also are broccoli florets, snap peas, cauliflower florets some corn kernels, and actually anything you want.

You will get all the necessary fruits and vegetables in one bowl.  Remember too to be  creative with your greens and don't just use iceberg lettuce but there is romaine, curly, spinach, butter head. Bib lettuce, Boston and loose leaf lettuce. You can even put nuts like cashews, walnuts, almonds or even pecans in your salad.  Don't for get the cheeses like feta, shredded cheddar, provolone etc just whatever you like.  This makes for a light taste summer meal.

So go ahead and be creative make a wonderful salad for yourself or for your family and enjoy!
