We are huge fans of quick and easy salads in our house. Because I cook and bake, we eat quite a bit at home and this includes lunch. My husband brings lunch to work every day so I often try to make salads like this Summer Sausage and Vegetable Salad that are easy to make and accessible straight from the refrigerator.

Fresh chopped vegetables and ham for healthy meal preparation, vibrant colorful produce including broccoli, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots, and mozzarella cheese.

You can use whatever vegetables you like but I love the combo of carrots, yellow pepper, green pepper, broccoli and tomatoes. Add some of your favorite cheese (in this case I used Fontinella), summer sausage and fresh herbs and you’re done! All you have to do is dress the salad now.

I love Marzetti salad dressings. You can find them near the salads in the produce section of your store. This sweet Italian dressing is SO good and versatile. We use it on salads, to marinate chicken and even steak.
