Fresh Food Toss Salad


This is my I-am-short-on-time let me toss fresh foods together salad. You come home from a long day and the last thing you want to do is play chef for another hour. I HEAR YOU! This is a no brainer, toss salad where you literally toss these ingredients together to make a balanced meal. It has all the components of a balanced plate: Protein (chickpeas)

Fiber (all the vegetables)

Carbs (Chickpeas and grapes)

Healthy fats (chopped nuts)

Make this salad your own toss with you favorite fresh vegetables! The only rule is that the ingredients need to be from the Earth. No "foods" that were made in a factory. Your body recognizes foods that come from the Earth and it digests them easily and efficiently; absorbing all the nutrients you need for vitality and vigor!

Cooked Beets (optional)

2 TBS EVOO

2 TBS balsamic vinegar
