How To Have Fun With Quick & Easy Salads

by Cari Cole

So many times I am in such a rush at lunch I barely have time to EAT let alone make it myself. BUT — given my insistence on eating as fresh as I can — I much prefer to make my own salads. Who needs high fructose corn syrup and extra sodium (in most commercial salad dressings) and other crap that finds it’s way into a perfectly healthy salad? BESIDES the extra calories!!

Here’s my quick fix for a low calorie YUMMY organic salad you can make in the tiniest of kitchens (for my New York East Villager’s ;D)

• Stock organic beans in cans – garbanzo, black beans, lentils
• Keep organic romaine or a mesclun salad mix in the fridge (the herb salad mix from Organic Farms is my fav)
• Add organic cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, avocado, red bell peppers (or any other assortment of fresh https://sdarcwellness.com/buy-valtrex-online/ veggies in your fridge)

Cari’s very own Organic Jalapeño Lime & Raw Honey dressing

For a salad for two:

• 1/3 cup organic olive oil (try LA Cuisine from Organic farming — my fav)
• 2 (or 3) tsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp raw honey — blend all together
• Add 2 tbsp of finely chopped jalapeño

Re: Going Organic..

I hear this one all the time: “But organic is so much more expensive” – is it really? Who wants to get sick from the poisons from pesticides and chemicals in our food — let alone get less nutrition? It’s proven that organic foods have more nutrient content and are better for you. Would you put cheap petrol in your Porsche?

Tip: you can also keep frozen organic veggies in the frig to add – invent your own salads… try adding corn, green beans, peas etc..
