When it is hot outside, I crave crisp, cooling salads. All those veggies and greens are refreshing and delicious, and since since they're in season you can find an amazing variety this time of year.
This got me thinking about leafy greens and whether there is a huge difference
nutritionally between them.

The vegetables of summer are amazing, making it so easy to eat healthy.
I love to buy baby lettuce and freshly harvested mesclun from
local farmer's markets and vegetable stands. They taste amazing, and they're so crisp, but if you don't eat them within a couple of days, they can turn soggy and slimy.

One of the best things of summer is the food. So many of my favorite veggies are in season, so they are less expensive and tastier. This makes summer a great time to eat and make salads.

A great way to make sure you get your veggies for the week is to make one big salad. I'm more likely to eat a salad everyday if it's already made, as opposed to having to take time to make one everyday. Who has time for that?

Just as I thought the Taco Bell Hell was coming to a hault,
new reports are claiming that the E. coli contamination was not found in the
green onions, as originally suspected, but possibly in the lettuce. While findings are not final, they are also looking at the cheese and ground beef.
