Today is National Picnic Day. I can't tell you the last time I went on a picnic. We used to go often earlier on in our marriage and when the kids were small, but as they got older, it became harder and harder to do impromptu things like that on the weekends. Now our picnics consist more of backyard/deck barbecues with family and friends, but no matter what the occasion, salads are always on the menu. They add such a nice variety to whatever it is your serving and many offer a healthier dining option to your guests as well.
This Mediterranean Tomato, Mozzarella and Celery Salad is a twist on one of my favorites and I just love the "crunch" the crisp celery adds; not to mention the gorgeous color!
