Here in Florida we have access to a plethora of fresh produce, especially during the warmer months. Trying out recipes made with seasonal fruits and vegetables can be a fun way to switch up your usual weekly meals. If you’re tired of your everyday salad, consider making one of the following as a side dish, or add a protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a full meal.
-
Tomato and mozzarella salad – This is a great light salad to have as a side with a sandwich or burger. Make it by chopping up some fresh tomatoes, cucumber, basil, and mozzarella. Then, mix them together with a little bit of olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, salt, and pepper.
-
Cold black bean and avocado salad – This salad is a great option on a hot summer night. To make it, boil a few fresh ears of corn. Then, using a knife, carefully slice the corn off the cob and rinse the kernels under cold water. Next, cut an avocado into chunks. Finally, mix the avocado and corn together with a can of black beans. You can also add more toppings like tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese if you like.
Your apartment home is a great place to make and enjoy one of these summer salads. The Quarters apartments in Lady Lake, Florida, have spacious kitchens where you can easily whip up recipes like these.
