2 Salads
20 min

It's September! But it is also still 90 degrees in Florida so how can I get the fall flavors while keeping it cool? A fall inspired salad. This salad is simple to make, takes little prep work & tastes exactly like fall. I highly recommend cooking seasonally- it gives you something to look forward to, provides the freshest ingredients, and is readily available. My favorite fall foods are sweet potatoes, apples, butternut squash, etc.
