Spring is in the air, and that means more grilling, fresh produce, and family picnics!

My husband and I grill all year long here in Maine. There is nothing like a fresh grilled burger or chicken breast in the dead of winter to give you a little hope that spring and summer are (eventually) coming.

This salad is easy to put together and is full of colorful veggies. Top it off with one of Primal Kitchen’s Salad Dressings (the ranch is my favorite) to make a delicious and filling Paleo & Whole30-approved summer salad.
