Fajita Salad

We love to have light meals in summer. Famous are summer salads and fruits. We dig for a variety of salad recipes, trying out different ingredients. Vegetarians want to give a shot at different types of cheese, herbs, vegetables, and dressings. Non-vegetarians try out healthy salad recipes that include meats like chicken and tuna. In short, salads are the way to beat the heat. Watermelon Fetta Cheese SaladSalad, Chicken and Ginger Salad, and Potatoes in Tahini Sauce are a few salad recipes on Cukzy which you can try in summers.
