It's definitely salad weather. Low on lettuce? Not to worry: any bowl of raw veggies and fruit can be a salad. Chop and/or shred a bit of this and that (cukes, zukes, beets, carrots, onions, chard, parsley, radishes) in a variety of colors and throw it together with some vinaigrette and maybe a bit of cheese, grains, chicken, etc. Decorate the top with raisins, sunflower seeds, dulse, and chopped herbs. You won't miss the lettuce a bit. And if you make a big batch (hold the vinaigrette until serving time) you'll have easy food for a few days.
