Summer is in full swing and, when it's not raining, we are all about dining al fresco.
Where there's grilled meats and veggies, there's likely to be a salad hitting the table too. It can be easy to get into a rut with the classic caesar salad, spinach salad, et al., so we're here to offer some more inventive suggestions.
