When it comes to salads, we use the term 'recipe' very loosely. Rather then tracking down and following a recipe, we like to take stock of what we've got on hand and create something unique every time. Take this big summer salad we made just this past weekend. It's loaded with healthy goodness (think vibrant greens, omega-rich avocado, crisp radishes and protein-filled quinoa), filling enough to be served as your main meal and super easy to make. So the next time you're thinking of what salad to make, simply grab whatever greens, veggies, grains and bread you've got on hand and create your own delicious concoction.
