Summer Salad Lettuce Cups.

With this heat wave we are experiencing, the only thing I want to eat is either fruit or salad! Everything else is just too hot! I whipped up this delicious and super easy dinner the other night, it is SO REFRESHING. Enjoy!

Summer Salad Lettuce Wraps(Fruit you’ll need: kumquats- or something tart, an assortment of tomatoes, nectarines, watermelon)

Summer Salad Lettuce Wraps(Other essentials: chopped basil, butter lettuce, goat cheese crumbles, olive oil- not pictured)

Summer Salad Lettuce Wraps(Chop each of the fruits and combine in a bowl. Add a splash of olive oil and mix)

Summer Salad Lettuce Wraps(Add in the goat cheese crumbles and chopped basil)

Summer Salad Lettuce Wraps(Serve in butter lettuce cups)

I love lettuce wraps and this is probably the easiest one that I have come up with. If you want to add in some protein, I would suggest cold seasoned chicken strips.

July – Beautiful Madness.

There are so many wonderful things about summer, especially July.  It’s usually the first real month of warmer nights and celebrations.  The 4th of July has always been a really fun holiday to celebrate because it doesn’t focus on anyone specifically but brings an entire mass of people together in America.  Our favorites of July happen to naturally be colorful, edible, and fashion related.  Weird, right?

And hey, Happy Fourth of July from us here at IFL!
