There’s one key consistency in some of my favorite summer recipes… they’re RAW. Yep, when it’s 105°F out, pretty much the last thing I want to do is turn the oven on. Cue this sweet seasonal salad. I love using quality olive oil drizzled on some fresh fruits and veggies with a little salt and pepper. I think this recipe is even better with age too. Let the ingredients soak for a few hours before enjoying if you can resist!
