Planning a picnic or barbecue this holiday weekend? Don't forget the salad! And by salad, I don't mean an afterthought of boring lettuce and bottled dressing. Save that for another time. Or, never. This is the unofficial beginning of summer – it deserves something a little special. Something fresh and seasonal, simple and delicious. Here are a few ideas from the archives:

• Asparagus Panzanella
• Spring Vegetable Cracked Wheat Salad
• Arugula, Avocado and Fennel Salad
• Fingerling Potato Salad with Cornichons
• Moroccan Carrot Salad
• Cauliflower, Garbanzo Bean and Feta Salad
• Honey Mustard Potato and Yam Salad
• Radish Salad with Parsley and Feta
• Springtime Peanut Noodle Salad (I Miss Felicity Salad)

Have a wonderful and safe holiday!
