Summer is nearly here, and the potluck picnic invitations will be coming in. I always like to have a “signature” dish I bring to certain events, and this scrumptious salad is my go-to salad for summertime parties of all sorts. It simply screams summertime with its delicious sweet and refreshing flavors that adults and kids alike will absolutely love. This chopped salad recipe is a huge crowd-pleaser!
Valentina's passion is food, and she loves spending time in her "kitchen retreat," as she refers to that room in her house. Valentina develops recipes for creative and comforting food that works perfectly for casual entertaining. Both her recipes and food photography have been featured many times on popular food websites and in print. Valentina shares her beautiful photographs as well as new and interesting recipes almost daily on her blog, Cooking on the Weekends.
Outside the worlds of food and photography, Valentina's other passion is her family (including her two young boys, her husband and her puppy, Maple.)
