As the weather heats up, keep the oven off and toss together one of these light and healthy salads for a delicious summer lunch or dinner!
If you’re like me, warm weather means my appetite for heavy food takes a nosedive–as does my desire to turn on the oven or get anywhere near it. So salads are a no-brainer.
I rounded up 28 healthy salads from my dietitian friends (and a few from this blog) that are perfect for summer meals. Enjoy!
