Whether you're grilling or just having a regular dinner you should always ALWAYS have something green on your plate, if not even try and have it be mostly plants. Whichever way you swing though, people get tired of salads some times and honestly out in the heat they don't always hold up so well. Try just having substantial vegetable sides that are cold and large enough to substitute a salad. Get a big bunch of string beans (I know Giant and most grocers even sell fresh bags of them), wash them and remove any stems, then steam them if you like but I prefer to drop them in a pot of salted boiling water for only a few minutes till they're tender - do a taste test to see how al dente you want them, drain them, toss them in a bowl, drizzle some olive oil, a touch of red wine vinegar, a fair amount of chopped garlic and salt to taste. Serve cold or at room temperature. Fresh healthy and DELICIOUS.
