With the weather getting way too hot in Texas, the search is on to find food that goes great with BBQ and light enough not to weigh you down in the heat. I had this recipe on my phone for quite some time and I'm not sure where it came from, but boy was it a hit!

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before and then it's ready to go for lunch or dinner the next day.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too heavy and the vegetables were not fresh.

I love this salad! It's so versatile and I can easily customize it to my liking. I often add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some more herbs or spices.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar in the dressing next time.
