Рецепт Slow Down Summer
Is anyone else feeling the breeze coming off the calendar? Seriously-the days are FLYING by and there is not a single thing I can do to slow them down. Believe me I've tried. "Okay boys- they say time flies when you're having fun, so today we're not doing a single thing fun. We are cleaning the house, doing laundry and not going anywhere." Guess what. It still went too fast. So, no more of that. We've got to pack as much summer as we can into summer while we can! Case in point- July 4th is NEXT week! I can't believe the biggest celebration of summer is literally days away. I think this year's parties are going to be pretty spectacular with more and more people gathering again. America is going to get a birthday party for the ages in 202!No matter if you're hosting a big Independence Day bash, hitting the road for a picnic or day trip to the beach, chilling by the pool or just cooking out with the family, the food needs to be on point delicious! This summer salad recipe needs to be on our menu! Not only does it come together in almost no time, it can be sitting in the fridge waiting on you so you don't miss a minute of the fun! I've been making my Grammy's broccoli salad for years, but this time I wanted something a little different. Alex's school actually has a version that he really enjoys, so I took some inspiration from that and threw in some stuff of my own too! The crunch from the broccoli tastes so fresh and the sweetness from the grapes screams summer! The creamy, tangy dressing brings everything together in flavor heaven. Get out there and enjoy summer while you can! I hope your July 4th is amazing, no matter how you are celebrating, and includes a few terrific summer salads, like this one!
