My friend Wanda made me fall in love with salads. She is a talented writer and a very good cook . Ever since I tried her salads, I wanted to create different combinations like: spinach and blueberries or arugula, candied walnuts and apples.

I usually serve this salad with grilled salmon or shrimp. Please check the recipe below and let me know what easy and healthy dishes you plan to make this summer?
