I love salad, It's always present in our meals almost everyday. The good thing about making your own salad aside from knowing "what's in there" is You can also do it with your personal choice according to the availability of your veggies.

Here is a classic salad with a wonderful combination of textures and flavors. This Refreshing salad is called Turkish salad, I made a bit of a twist by adding pomegranate seeds and it taste successful.

This salad looks perfect, it is just right at these high temperatures outside!

Indeed. Especially where we live right now (UAE), its whooping 36 degrees with a real feel of 46 degrees celcius.

Lovely salad @sherylneil, I especially love the addition of pomegranates, so refreshing!

I am right there with you on the salad weather, though I think as hot is it is here you've got it even hotter there! I bet that pomegranate is a delicious pop of flavor with all those refreshing veggies.

Wow so yummy she she.
I love the presentation. 💞

@sherylneil, love your salad. I need to make my own dressing, my husband likes Italian dressing. This will be my next project. Thanks @sherylneil.
