SALADS
It’s hot here! Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a crisp, green salad for dinner for several reasons. The first reason is that salads are yummy. Second, many varieties of summer berries can be found in abundance. Third, they are quick to pull together for lazy summer evenings. And Fourth, they don’t require you to turn on the stove and heat up your already hot house.
