Spring is in full swing, the weather is warmer, and we are all excited to get out of the hot kitchen and have a much cooler, lighter fare. Spring salads are the perfect solution to your seasonal dilemma. Here you’ll find a bunch of recipes that are quick, easy and will leave you lots of time in your day to lounge by the pool or do a little spring cleaning!
/1/ Fennel and Citrus Salad – This salad is filled with a yummy combo of both sweet and spicy. If you’re someone who eats a Paleo diet, this recipe is perfect for you!
