Before I started making Christmas cookie baskets and serving up Thanksgiving feasts, I was absolutely terrified to cook for anyone. Many of you have expressed the same fear, so we are going to start with something quick, cheap, and easy… and no – I am not talking about your man.

This week, we are making a really simple, really tasty summer salad. It’s perfect for a healthier approach to lunch, or, if you prefer, change it up a little and serve it as a dinner salad paired with your favorite entrĂ©e!

What you will need:
· Spring mix greens
· Baby spinach greens
· Fresh strawberries
· Dried cranberries
· Walnuts
· Large Lemon
· Your choice of topping (chicken, tuna, tofu, etc)

What you will do:
· Mix them up and serve it! … yes, this still counts as cooking!





It’s really hard to mess up a salad like this, so have fun with it! Feel free to mix in some apple slices, grapes, a light cheese, or varied citrus fruits. Even serving the chicken topping hot or cold will add some variety.

I hope you guys enjoy this really simple and delicious salad! And if salads aren’t your thing, get ready for next week when we tackle a sinfully scrumptious dessert!

xo, Jason
