So there are two things that most influenced the summer of salads: 1. A new cookbook. 2. A Rachael Ray magazine that I stole (not maliciously) from work. I am really exploring outside the normal tomato/cucumber/green pepper standard. Getting more creative with my lettuce every day.

There was the orange, radish, and jicama, with ginger dressing.

Green apple, cheddar, and dried cranberries.

Tomato, bacon, and avocado. (Always a yum combo)

Strawberries, blueberries, almonds, and goat cheese.

Peaches, steak, red pepper, and goat cheese. (super cool work lunch at my desk)

Let me know if you have a fav combo that I need to try!
