Bill Parkinson, owner of the Parkinson Building Group, shares a bright, simple, seasonal recipe with a side of one of his favorite views.
“Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh vegetables and salads for days. Plus, anytime a dressing can double as a marinade for grilled meats or seafood, it’s a win-win.”
