Feed your belly, feed your skin

With this fresh and sweet summer salad.





A couple of handfuls of Organic Girl supergreens*  (I find these at Publix in my area).
1/4 ripe avocado, cubed
toasted walnuts
a sprinkling of organic dried cranberries
about 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries, preferably organic
crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Ken's lite raspberry walnut vinagrette goes great with this as does Bolthouse Farms raspberry merlot vinagrette, also found at Publix.

The only downfall to this salad is that the blueberries roll off your fork. I may try eating this with a tablespoon next time!

This salad is very low in fat and calories, especially if you keep the dressing down to 1 tablespoon and is loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients to feed your skin and organs. And of course, it's high in vitamins.


*I recently found out that chard is in the beet family. Beets are a fabulous food to incorporate into your diet as they are especially good for your liver and blood vessels. Eat them often if you have blood pressure issues.
