This is a summer staple for SB Co-Founder Liza Graves and her family. It’s delicious and feeds an army, and leftovers can be converted into some other recipe options, too.

Zucchini and Avocado Salad
From Atlanta Editor Katherine Snell, here’s a fun alternative for potato salad that is great for picnics, as there are no ingredients that can spoil in the heat. (It’s also Paleo-friendly, as an added bonus, if you’re post-vacation and wanting to eat clean food!)
