Here is one of the simplest salads for using up all the delicious summer fruit you have on hand! It takes just a few minutes to prep, and can easily be upgraded by adding some grilled chicken or salmon.
The lemon garlic vinagrette is also incredibly simple to make. I just squeeze one small lemon into a jar, add one clove of minced garlic, a pinch of salt, a scant 1/4 cup of olive oil and shake until well combined.
Simple, but incredibly delicious!
