(HealthNewsDigest.com) – When you think salad, do you think boring? Don’t get stuck in a salad rut! Salads are supposed to be healthy, but most folks’ idea of a salad is made up of the same old iceberg lettuce, croutons and high-fat dressing. Well salads have come a long way! These exciting varieties I want to share with you are not your old-fashioned humdrum leafy vegetables. And the best part about these salads is that they are cool and refreshing while keeping cooking to a minimum during the heat of the busy summer months.

– Even more delicious salad when seasonal summer ingredients are used.
