Daily Delish – Poolside Eats

One of my favorite things about our Puerto Rico vacation was the fact that we had no plans. So often we jam-pack our vacations with crazy itineraries and excursions. It was nice to only worry about planning to reapply our sunscreen. Most of our days were spent reading at the beach, lounging in the pool and, of course, eating delicious food. (Don’t worry, we did get some fun activities in there, too!)

One of my favorite lunches:

Roasted duck salad with fresh oranges, tossed in a lime vinaigrette.

Best enjoyed poolside

This dish just screamed “summer!” to me, I loved the sweetness of the orange and the tangy tartness the lime dressing provided.

What’s your favorite poolside treat?
