Grilled Salmon Salad

Summer is almost over. I spend all winter waiting for summer and it just flies by in the blink of an eye. This year, I didn’t even get a chance at proper beach time. The one weekend I dedicated to working on my tan and being lazy on a beach chair was ruined by summer rain. So bad, that we left early making it a less than enjoyable weekend, to say the least. I have other things to say about that particular weekend, but I’ll keep that to myself.

So with summer slipping away, I want to take advantage of the week or so I have left before Labor Day weekend [the weekend that officially marks the end of summer, with pools closing despite the temperatures probably hitting the 90s]. I’m determined to make it back out to the beach — and it’s going to be a great time. I’m also going to grill up as much as I can, and eat as many fresh summer fruits and salads that I can get my hands on.
