It has been a super long stressful weekend. So… even though I have a few recipes waiting to be written and posted, I decided to do a roundup of some of my summer salad recipes instead. I took my licensing exam at 6:15 this morning, and I’m attending a family event tonight. I really didn’t think I could give my post all the attention it deserves. This was my compromise. I hope you don’t mind. =)
In a few days, I’ll be back to posting new recipes. In the mean time, I hope you’ll find something you like from these summer recipes.

Thank you so much, Diana! I really hope my exam went well too. I actually didn’t have much time to put together that post. Which is why I did the round up rather than an actual recipe. Pure determination not to miss a day of posting =)
