Summer and salads…they are almost synonymous with each other. But salads don’t have to be limited to a few lettuce leaves and tomatoes. Make the most of seasonal produce and create salads using potatoes, corn, bell peppers, fruits and avocados! Salads are a great way to increase nutrients and include more variety in your diet. Be creative and come up with your own personalized combinations! Here are three super simple summer salads to make mealtime easy, fun and delicious!

• Red, White & Blue Potato: Small white, purple/blue and red potatoes (cook & cut into 1-inch cubes); chopped ham, chopped walnuts, garlic, chopped red bell peppers, sliced scallions.
• Avocado Blueberry Fruit Salad: Sliced avocado, fresh blueberries, diced apples, diced mango, mixed baby greens, chopped chives, coarsely chopped walnuts
