With Fourth of July weekend ahead of us, there’s lots to plan and coordinate. Whose backyard has the best view of the fireworks? Who’s going to be the grill master this year? What swimsuit should I wear? And most importantly, what side dish can I bring that’ll impress my friends and family? Look no further—we teamed up with Chef Sara (@insaraskitchen) to create a delicious dish that’s healthy and on theme for the red, white, and blue holiday.
This salad can be served as the perfect appetizer or a main course. Prep time is brief and there is no cooking time involved, so the total time is just 15 minutes. The fruit and vegetables combined with the olive oil and fresh lemon juice make for a tasty source of vitamins, antioxidants, and nutrients. Follow the simple recipe below.
