Friday Food Files With Molly Watson: July 4 Salads.

Uh oh. Are you supposed to “bring something” to a party tomorrow? Worse, did someone ask you to bring a salad? Not a lot of glory to be had there, but I realized I have quite a nice collection of easy, summery, seasonal, delicious salads over at Local Foods that all transport bee-oo-ti-fully. They are so easy you could even super-star it and make two or three. Sure, that would be a bit of a show-off move, but July Fourth is all about showmanship and explosions and loud noises, right? Oh, wait, it’s actually about the founding of the country and independence and not being a colony and no taxation without representation.

p.s. Shout out to my peeps in The District of Columbia! Someday you, too, may have adequate representation. In the meantime, maybe one of these salads will cheer you up!

These salads look so fresh and simple! They would make an excellent side dish I can whip up when I am pressed for time.
