Better-for-You Tip: When it comes to summer salads, don’t forget that canned beans, tuna, veggies, and hard boiled eggs are always a welcome addition. They add fiber, protein, and as you can see, lots of color to any table. And by making our own homemade dressing, eyou get not only a fresh taste, but a dressing that is better-for-you!
