Hot days and a fridge full of fresh produce are a good enough reason to make this salad. It came together in one pan and one bowl, it keeps well for leftovers, and if you want to bring your cannabis practice into the kitchen without turning on the oven, this is a solid place to start.

This recipe is from Gourmet Nutrition: The Cookbook for the Fit Food Lover, a book that has survived more than one cookbook purge on my shelf for good reason. It's simple, it's fresh, and it makes eating well feel like the easier option rather than the responsible one. The Mediterranean beef salad with Greek vinaigrette is exactly that kind of recipe.
