Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups - mixed greens or your favorite greens
- 1 cups - grape or cherry tomatoes or your favorite tomato
- 1 - cucumber chopped
- 1/2 cups - dried cranberries with no sulfites as a preservative
- 1/2 cups - pecans or your favorite nut
- - balsamic vinaigrette just a drizzle for serving with
Directions:
1. Pick your favorite greens – I like mixed greens because it's more interesting and you get the wide spectrum of health benefits from a variety.
2. Pick your favorite tomato – chop them or cut in halves, as desired.
3. Cut up the cucumber and add it to the salad.
4. Top with dried cranberries – to be Groovy Beets approved, get the kind that doesn't contain sulfites as a preservative. (Sulfites can be a source of headaches, hives, joint pain, asthmatic symptoms, allergic reactions and even heart palpitations.) Better yet, go organic if you can.
5. Add your favorite nut – If you are trying to keep it clean, choose a nut that doesn't have added glaze. Pecans are my favorite.
With this salad you've accomplished a lot: greens to cleanse your blood, tomatoes for cancer-fighting antioxidants, cranberries for decreased blood pressure and cancer prevention and nuts for anti-inflammatory support. Don't ruin a good thing by drowning it in heavy dressing. A little balsamic goes a long way.
