A Really Fantastic Summer Salad Recipes

•
An open-air feast with friends and family on a bright sunny summer day is all one needs to refresh the mood. But sometimes planning a party can be a lot. Not only do you have to come up with activities to keep your guests entertained, but you have to plan and prepare a menu that everyone will like. Summer salad recipes are one of my favorite things to make because they’re so, so easy. And refreshing! When it’s hot outside, all I really want to eat is something cold, like a summer salad. 
When it's hot the last thing you want to do is slave over a hot stove or spend a lot of time in the kitchen prepping for guests. So don't. Opt for a cool and crisp salad instead! There are so many fun and flavorful combinations of fruits, greens, veggies, nuts, and cheeses to experiment with, and they're all really easy to prepare.
 
Here are 3 summer salad recipes we think are really cool!
