How To Make summer salad and summer salad ii the sequel

  • Step 1
    Throw the veggies in a pretty bowl which complements the colors of the salad and toss with dressing. Serve very cold as a side with some grilled chicked or salmon.
  • Step 2
    This keeps well because there is no lettuce so make more than you need(two day).

    You can cook up some pasta shapes (rotini, bowties) the next day. Cool the pasta in ice water and drain.
  • Step 4
    Toss with the veggies as is, or you can cut the pieces smaller, maybe add some leftover cold meat or add some cheese cubes.
  • Step 5
    Add a little more dressing and you have...pasta salad!
