Summer Salads for Memorial Day

For a Memorial Day gathering, make a selection of cool summer salads and serve them with grilled breadsticks and the easiest strawberry shortcake ever. Pick and choose your favorite salads for this meal and serve it as a buffet. Put the salads on ice or make sure you discard the salads and put out some fresh from the fridge every two hours for food safety reasons. And enjoy the day with family and friends.
