    Did you know that a study from the University of California, Berkeley, recently found that fresh ripe tomatoes with olive oil were scientifically proven to be the perfect summer salad?

    Grilled Chicken With Basil Tomato Salad

    OK, not really. That's a made-up study. But if anyone ever did find a way to scientifically measure the perfect summer salad, then tomatoes with olive oil would probably be the winner, especially if you add some fresh herbs and a splash of balsamic vinegar to bring out the flavors! And on top of the taste, this salad is also an antioxidant powerhouse.

    For protein, add some grilled chicken with a simple herb rub. It's nothing that will steal the show from the tomatoes, but this type of chicken recipe is great for making double or triple and saving the leftovers, especially as the weather starts edging towards "too hot to cook."

    It's just so nice to have some pre-cooked protein already in the fridge, and it gives you a reason to play around with even more salad options.
