What better way to serve a variety of fruits, vegetables, even
meats—than in a colorful salad? As an appetizer, a side dish, a
dessert, or the main course of your meal, a salad brings lots of
goodness to your table. Salads can be light or hearty, depending on the
ingredients you choose.
Summertime salads often feature a medley of fresh fruits. Tossed green
salads are year-round favorites. Salads made from eggs and potatoes,
from seafoods, and from meats and cheeses also deserve a place in your
meal planning.
