Simple Summer Salads

It's already so hot outside that I can hardly bear the thought of turning on the oven, so I've been filling up on simple salads. There's really nothing better than a hearty, guilt-free salad with whole grains or beans. I like to keep a big bowl of salad in the fridge for quick meals and snacks. Here's a round-up of creative salads that I'd be content eating all summer long. ~Kathryne from Cookie + Kate
