Tasty, Summer Salad

salad, summer

Summer is here and one meal that I crave often is salad! I love how varied salads can be, ranging from a simple bowl of green leaf lettuce dressed in olive oil and balsamic vinegar to a zesty Southwest chicken salad. I recently enjoyed this summery salad with my husband, and I wanted to share this tasty salad recipe with you all!

You will need spring mix lettuce, grape or cherry tomatoes, an English cucumber, an avocado, grapes, pecans, a red onion, shredded chicken and a dressing of your choice!
