Recipe: Summer Salad

My mom is hands down the best cook ever! I'm sure I'm bias, but I am also very positive that if you ask anyone who has ever eaten anything she has made, they will back me up on this. 

Even her salads are better then anything I could think of on my own. So today I share with you a salad I've eaten with her twice. I kid you not that she mixes it up each time and it ends up being the best salad I've ever had!

I give you, the perfect summer salad:

Ingredients:
Power greens (use any greens you'd like)
Grilled Corn
Black Olives
Yellow tomatoes
Broccoli 
Pine nuts
Cucumber
Celery
Carrots

The dressing used this day was a vinaigrette.

The second time she made it she added diced egg, avocado, bacon, and poppy seed dressing:

I am obsessed with this salad. I think the grilled corn just makes it, no?

What's your favorite summer salad? Do you think your mom makes the best meals ever too?
