If you're going to make one salad this summer make it this Vietnamese-inspired summer rice noodle bowl. It's delicious, fresh and zesty and SO easy to throw together. 

If you're wanting something prep ahead, this summer salad is perfect - you can prep the salad ingredients and dressing separately in advance and toss them together last minute to retain freshness.
