'Tis the season for outdoor entertaining and, guess what, you're on salad duty again.

This year, ditch the boring old standbys and give your Aunt Edna's homemade lasagna or even your husband's infamous burgers a run for their money with these updated takes on classic potluck favourites. When it comes to feeding a crowd, there's nothing like a crisp salad of seasonal ingredients and bright, bold flavours to give any pool party, barnyard barbecue or picnic in the pasture a colourful lift, and with no-fail recipes like these ones featuring fresh tastes, crunchy textures and bright, summery hues, your simple side is sure to outshine any meaty main it shares a paper plate with.
