With summer temperatures, you might want to avoid the oven, and instead have a salad. Good Food host Evan Kleiman has tips on where to get good to-go salads. We're talking about big salads — with tons of crunch made in a giant bowl with dressing. She also offers her own garlic-parmesan dressing recipe.

Recipe: Evan’s Garlic-Parmesan Salad Dressing

Peeled garlic to taste (use one clove for every three people)

Using a garlic press, puree the garlic into the salad bowl. Add a bit of salt and mix together with the garlic using the back of a wooden spoon. Add oil, then vinegar (use a 2/3 oil to 1/3 vinegar mix). Add a handful of grated cheese. Stir.

Don’t apologize to anyone for your garlic breath.
