Summer Chopped Salad
/Get creative!
Fresh veggies are easier to get in the warmer months and most likely come from local sources or home gardens.
Pick a night each week and decide to eat clean and simple. Give your body the gift of health and vitality by taking a break from digesting meats, cheeses, and processed foods and allowing it to take in and absorb wholesome nutrients.
Use what you have! But strive to maintain a balance. Again, keep it simple.
For this salad, I chopped up:
- Purple cabbage
- Red bell pepper
- Vine-ripened tomatoes
- And corn
*I drizzled it with EVOO, a teaspoon of raw organic honey, a splash of malt vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
It doesn't have to stop there! Consider adding in or chopping up a combo of:
- Avocado
- Organic beans
- Jalapeños
- Herbs (cilantro, basil, or parsley)
- Add a splash of citrus such as: lemon, lime, or orange
- Organic lettuce chopped finely
Enjoy simple ingredients with complex flavored!
Be well and enjoy healthy foods,
