My steak salad with avocado and radishes is a big plate of summer deliciousness. I sometimes add dried cranberries and cherry tomatoes, but you can customize it to suit your tastes. —Marla Clark, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Health tip

Include vitamin C-rich fruits or vegetables, like this recipe’s beefsteak tomato, in spinach salads to increase the absorption of iron from the spinach.
