Thanks to our modern greenhouse growing seasons, most of us can still enjoy fresh, crisp salads year round!These types of salads are VERY interchangeable, so add in whatever veggies you already have and love at home, or leave out whatever you just don’t care for.

Even in our deep snowy Utah winters, I can usually still talk Jason into heading outside (just add snowboots + beanie while wearing pajama pants = grill master! Haha) to grill some lemony Greek marinated chicken thighs or breasts while I chop and build a big colorful salad in my cozy kitchen.

Just a few minutes later = Dinner DONE!Makes 4 servings
