Salad.  I keep thinking about salad. I've always liked salad and growing up I used to take part in the salad bar at restuarants whenever possible.  What I don't like though is a boring salad.  By boring I mean lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and dressing. That's no fun! 

My kind of salad involves corn, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, beets, hearts of palm, olives, egg, avocado and dressing.  I'm talking a big mama, full for hours salad that has so many flavors going on that my mouth doesn't know what to do with itself.  With this summer heat still in full swing nothing sounds better these days.
