Introduction:

July has brought on some heat that only us southerners could endure. To combat this heat, we here at SchnellerCo, have decided to bring a recipe to the blog for the very first time-- the Summer Breeze Salad! This is my very first blog post with the company, and I am so excited to share this salad with all y’all! With this new recipe, you’ll cook for the whole family something healthy, easy to make, fresh, and delicious!

Backstory:

I spent this past year trying to eat healthily at college, so for lunch every day, I would have a salad from the salad bar. Now, honestly, I have never been much of a salad guy, so creating the perfect salad seemed a daunting task. Still, after months of trial-and-error, the Summer Breeze Salad was created! Now, in the heat of July, this salad has finally been perfected, and just in time to beat the heat. I recommend pairing this salad with a trip to the beach, a margarita, and a good book.

Health Benefits:

This salad is heart-healthy, promotes proper digestion, benefits eye health, helps build strong bones, is rich in protein, vitamins K, A, and C, among more health benefits. If you want to read more on the health benefits, click on this link
