Today's inspiration comes from a recent trip to Chicago's Green Market with my good friend, Heidi. We had such a good time visiting stand after stand of beautiful fruit and veggies. My mind immediately thought of the salad recipes I could make with these gorgeous goodies. I love a salad at any time of the year, but Summer is when I really appreciate one. When the weather heats up, a salad is a wonderful way to cool down.
HERE: 20 Stylish Salads And Servers
Killer Spinach Salad With
Hot Bacon Dressing
We knew it was Summer in my childhood home, when Mom made a Spinach Salad. Like my Mother, I love fresh spinach. This salad would be a big hit in this bacon lov'n home of mine.
