Roasted Fennel and Peach Salad

I love fennel in salads raw or roasted but roasting fennel brings out its sweet flavor and makes it so tender! In this salad I combine it with summer peaches, crunchy pecans and spinach with a balsamic dressing for a delicious combo! This makes the perfect light dinner with a protein on the side!

Summer Corn Salad

Sweet corn is at its most delicious and flavorful right now, so it is the perfect time to make a salad featuring it! This one combines corn with tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers in a tangy vinaigrette with fresh herbs for a healthy summer salad! This is good made ahead of time as well, because it keeps well in the refrigerator.
