Spoon & Whisk 

Summer Salads

Salads are year-round fare, but especially desirable in the summer where gardens and farmers' markets overflow with the best produce of the year. It's a great time to embrace "Buy Fresh, Buy Local," and salads are a natural choice for the fresh harvests underway now.

IN THIS ISSUE, we feature three salads with delicious, fresh dressings that sparkle and bring out the best in all the ingredients. Salads beg for improvisation, play the plate with combinations of what's ever around - there are no wrong combinations!
