frugal foodie family — a family of 4 (and occasionally the neighborhood) eating well on a budget
summer 2012

6 summer salads, each under 350 calories.

…because who wants to cook in the summertime?

…because sipping a margarita with friends is more fun than standing over a stove when it’s 80 degrees outside.

…because it’s (ugh) bathing suit season.

…because you can’t stand the thought of getting pasta sauce on your adorable new suede wedges.

…because there isn’t much time left to cook when you’ve spent the day at the beach, pool or lake.

…because of all these reasons, and more, here are 6 summery salads, each with only 350 calories or less, and every one packed with flavor and personality.
