Fresh Salad Recipes
By John Wellington
During the summer months it seems that entertaining and meals are mush more casual. People like to organize barbeques for family and neighborhood gatherings. Summer time is when I pull out my salad and create fresh light dishes. At the beginning of the summer several of us that live on the block decided that we would have a neighborhood get together at the end of August. We set the date and passed the word. We decided that we would get together closer to the date and come up with a menu.

Three weeks prior to the get together those of us that were organizing the event got together. I asked the other four women over to our house for a planning luncheon. I made three of my favorite salad to serve along with fresh bread and wine. We spent the lunch time catching up with each other on what we had done thus far in the summer. The women all liked the food and asked for my salad recipes. As I was looking up the one of the women suggested that we should have a salad bar as a theme for the barbeque. We could have grills going for hamburgers and hotdogs and then have a variety of salads to go along with the meat. This sounded like a great idea to all of us. We would ask each of the neighbors to make their favorite salad and to bring hamburgers or hot dogs for their family. Everyone would bring what they wanted to drink.
