Aside from the scorching heat, summer brings in a bounty of seasonal fruits. This means a more colorful table setting as ripe crops of different shades are incorporated in the various dishes we cook up. 

Salads are summer staples in our household. It is light and refreshing to eat. Here's one 'garden toss' experiment you can try on your own.

Dressing
