CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND FETA SALAD
Potato salad and baked beans might be two of the most popular sides at a barbecue. But a salad highlighting greens or vegetables is not only refreshing on hot summer days but pretty tasty, too. We like this quick-and-easy cucumber and tomato salad from this June's issue of Bon Appetit magazine.
