15 delicious cold summer salads that you need to try.

I’m a huge fan of salads, particularly cold salads.

I may not always know what to cook for dinner on any given night, but I do know that we’ll at least have a salad.

It’s usually just greens with a little fresh fruit, carrots and celery, but it’s always the best part of my meal.
