We created this Warm Summer Salad as a way to transition from winter to spring.
As we start breaking away from the warm, comfort foods and into the lighter fares, a Warm Summer Salad proved to be the perfect mashup.
You can bring the following three main ingredients to life by simply infusing them with fresh-squeezed lemon and Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil with Butter and Garlic Flavors: corn kernels, zucchini, and baby tomatoes.
Arugula is on our Eating with the Seasons: Spring list, so it made for a wonderful bed to lay the warm salad over.
Alternatively (or in combination with), you can pair this warm salad with rice for a light and fresh, spring bowl.
No matter what you choose, this Warm Summer Salad will not disappoint.
