The warmer weather makes me want to spend as little time as possible indoors, and a switch in diet usually happens around this time as well. More charcoal grilled veggies, fresh salads and grilled Rowe farms sausage tend to make an appearance as the weather improves, and the cooking transitions outside. Here is a great, super healthy salad from Whole Living magazine, it's great with the grilled squash. My addition is a bit of goat cheese broken on top for additional depth. YUM!
