TINY Kitchen Simple Summer Salad

The final long weekend of Summer is here! I hope you have made time to soak in the sun and enjoy the last minutes of this amazing season with your friends and family.

Part of our Labor Day traditional always involves amazing home-based meals, BBQs and cocktails with friends. Because I treasure that time with my people, I always look for simple, quick and healthy recipes that I can whip up in a beat, and that will make people smile. This is one of those. This salad is loaded with fresh summer flavor, and ready in minutes!

I hope you enjoy!
