Summer Salad Sampler

Prepare these salads throughout the day and enjoy a leisurely summertime meal. You’ll lay out a salad smorgasbord: Farro/Corn/Tomato Salad, an Avocado/Romaine Salad with shaved Parmesan and a seasonal Mixed Berry Salad. Compliment the salads with some Basil Hummus and a small baguette and you’ll have some lovely summertime grazing.

Assemble the Farro/Corn /Tomato salad, Seasonal Berry Salad and Basil Hummus early in the day and chill in the fridge. Wait until just before dining to finish the Avocado/Romaine Salad.
