No one likes to spend hours in the kitchen during hot days. During the summer, I love to grill meat, chicken and shrimp in the outdoors grill. But our meals are not just about meat. My family and I always prepare something to accompany our grilled meals. One of my favorite salads is this colorful salad with green beans, peppers, red onion and orange segments. With this fresh and delicious salad, you won’t spend more than 5 minutes in front of the stove!
