Salads are always a great option for summer, but not everyone is a fan of lettuce. If you want to keep things healthy and light—and avoid turning on the stove—this is a great salad. You can add some protein and turn it into a full meal or just use it as a side. Aside from a little chopping, this salad is no work at all.
