Fav easy summer salad

I made an easy cucumber and tomato salad last summer a lot and can't find the recipe. I think cilantro and avocado was in there. LOL!

Anyone make something like this? It was real easy and good.

Any other recipes they love to make in the summer?

Thanks!

Re: Fav easy summer salad

This is my favorite and I get requests for it when I go to parties in the summer:

Mixed greens
Blueberries
Strawberries (quartered)
Raspberries
Mandarin oranges (canned - rinsed and drained)
Cucumbers (sliced thin)

On the side: a container of slivered almonds and a container of Gorgonzola (since lots of people have nut allergies or dairy issues, I keep these things on the side)

And the dressing, which is what makes this salad awesome: Brianna's poppyseed dressing

So good and refreshing.

If you make it for yourself and keep it at spinach rather than greens, leftovers can be blended into a smoothie (if you leave the dressing and cheese out, of course)

A plain tomato salad (tomatoes, scallion, basil, salt, oregano, olive oil) in that order.

My favorite: baby arugula with some baby mixed greens, red grapes, walnuts and Gorgonzola. I just dress with lemon juice, salt pepper and evoo.
