You will love this recipe for Mixed Green Summer Salad with a creamy Italian Vinaigrette, it is delicious. There was not one little piece left in the dish after my family served it. I have said it over and over, but I do love salad. Summer salads are just the best, the produce is fresh and in season so it all just tastes better. I am always trying to mix things up so my family doesn't get bored with salad, because I can eat it every day. I bought this new serving plate and does it ever make a salad look beautiful. I want to inspire you to get creative with your salads and add your favorite ingredients. This salad I added white cannellini bean, they are basically a white kidney bean. Beans are great because they add extra protein and fiber to a salad and they help to stabilizer blood sugar levels. As we get older this is especially important. Eat your salads and stay healthy. Please share any great tips or comments. I would love to hear from you. Bon Appétit, Cecelia
