Sweet Summer Salads
Updated: Oct 3, 2020
My favorite season has finally come!! I used to look forward to summer every year, especially when I was living in Canada but my first experience with summer in this Abu Dhabi heat is a whole new vibe! With temperatures reaching 100 + Fahrenheit everyday, I always turn to my go-to plant based salad recipes as a light and healthy meal. Can't imagine eating anything else these days..
