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.

BERRY SALAD

This Summer Berry Salad is one of our family’s favorite Summertime Dinner ideas.  You can basically use any of your favorite berries or fruits (think apples and peaches too).  Throw together some mixed greens, chopped avocado, a few chopped nuts, some grilled chicken and a sprinkling of cheese (like feta) and you have a delicious meal that takes minutes to prepare.
