Kara’s Sights & Bites: Spring/summer survival food: salads, of course
By: Kara Kimbrough When I say “salads are spring/summer survival food,” I’m not referring to pale leaves of iceberg lettuce topped with a few shakes of tasteless low or no-fat dressing.

By Kara Kimbrough I’ve shared my favorite cuisines in the past as well as those that I can do without.
