summertime salad
(1 RATING)
This is a great salad for hot summer days, because it's served chilled. It doesn't require cooking, just some chopping. If you make it in the morning (before it's too miserable to work in a hot kitchen), it will be well chilled by lunch or dinnertime. It a great picnic or potluck salad, too.
