FRESH FIX

Longtime editor Samantha Yanks shares three delicious salads sourced with local ingredients for your summer table.

HOT TIP

Look Local. When

you see a roadside stand or farmers’ market, pull over! It’s a great way to meet area vendors, source meals close to home, and teach kids about growing food!

Yanks loves to pull ingredients from her own backyard, trimming herbs for easy, summer lunches. Local vendors are also a must in the branding guru’s book— she shares all about her love of New England (including where to find the best produce, like peaches from Woodland Farm!) on The Connecticut Edit, her newly-launched lens into East Coast living.

HOT TIP

Mini Boards. A

genius hack to get your Minis to eat fruits and veggies? Make Mini charcuterie boards— Arrange berries, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers on a platter and let them graze! 1

SIMPLE CHICKEN CAESAR WITH LEMON DRESSING You can’t go wrong with a classic caesar salad in the summer. Opt for crisp romaine, shards of parmesan, crunchy croutons, and grilled chicken.

2

SUMMER ANTIPASTO CHOP When the season gives you fresh veggies, chop them into a salad! For this Antipasto Chop, toss together tomatoes, salami, artichokes, and red peppers.

3

GREEK SALAD WITH HOMEMADE TARAMASALATA Nothing says summer like a mix of farm stand tomatoes, cucumber, feta, and olives.
