Cool salad on a hot day

It's warming up very fast in my corner of the world, so I've made some iced coffee (for about another hour or so) and some peach iced tea (for the rest of the day). I have leftover pork chop and brown rice for dinner. But for my lunch, I've opted for a cool salad of romaine, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, celery and strawberries. So many different flavors and that's just what I need on a day like today. Hope you're doing well, whether your battling heat or cold or dry conditions or wet. Seems that everyone is battling some weather condition right now. No matter where you are, just please stay safe! -Claudia- image from pixabay

Salads are required as the summer heat and humidity sets in. As for that morning sun glare, I just keep the shades down and my back turned on the windows! lol

Although it's a bit wet here we're having cold meat and salad for lunch as we need to clean up the lettuce.

@CRK109 Needing to get rid of this, that and the other is regarded as a challenge by Vince and he attacks it with gusto! It has resulted in some very nice meals.

It's always a good thing to finish whatever is left over in the fridge, I agree! And sometimes that leads to interesting meals!
