Summer Squash Salad With Avocado Dressing

Summer is my most favorite time of the year. In the summers, I can’t get enough of the BBQ. I’ve practically made every dinner on the grill. Grilling, in turn, calls for amazing salad recipes to pair with all the grilling. This is where my mom’s summer squash, Brussels, and arugula salad comes in handy.

You will love this salad recipe, but especially the avocado dressing. It tastes so fresh and very easy to make. It really will make a great side dish for all your summer grilling and you may want to use this Avocado dressing on your chicken next time!
