How To Make summertime salad

  • 1
    Before assembling the salad, be sure to thoroughly clean, wash or rinse your fresh vegetables. Then pat dry with paper towels.
  • 2
    Cut or slice fruit and vegetables into desired pieces. Then place them in a bowl to serve.
  • 3
    Place half of a hard boiled egg on each salad, then place the croutons on top just before serving salad.
