Labor day weekend; a sure sign that summer is coming to a close and fall is right around the corner. Now don’t get me wrong, fall is packed with some wonderful things. Fall is a season of college football, falling leaves, crisp air and hearty root vegetables. But it’s hard to believe that the beautiful produce of summer is going away until next spring. So enjoy these end-of-summer salads of beautiful summer veggies and greens while you can before it’s too late.
