Here in Texas Labor Day is a down-home celebration, with barbecues happening in nearly every backyard. Everyone reconnects, telling stories of their summer travels. Plus, one of our favorite traditions in my house is to serve up Mediterranean Summer Salad as a side-dish.


Not only does it include tomatoes which are rich in the antioxidant lycopene which helps protect against prostate cancer and asthma, it contains sardines which are the ultimate long-life food

Mediterranean Summer Salad

1 can tomatoes, drained and de-seeded 
1 can whole sardines 
1 can artichoke hearts 
1 can hearts of palm 
Italian dressing to taste 
1 box croutons
2 T sunflower seeds

In a medium sized bowl, mix the tomatoes, sardines, artichoke hearts, and the hearts of palm together. Add Italian dressing to taste and top with croutons and sunflower seeds. (Serves 2 as a meal, or 4-6 as a side dish)

Now it’s your turn: What’s your favorite type of salad?
