How do you handle that 2 o’clock wall that comes so easily when working at your computer all day, managing kids, running errands all over town, getting back from that “way-too-many-carbs” lunch with the boss?  This is my little secret and it’s too good to keep to myself…

  This black bean salad is full of flavor and attitude!  Nutrient dense and hearty, this salad makes a great addition to a summer menu.  Try it at home if you want something festive and healthy!  Your taste buds will not be disappointed!  Buen provecho!

So many things to love about summer...
Try this amazing watermelon salad I made a few weeks ago with my students in the wilderness!  It’s full of herbs that help detoxify the body and boost immune function.  The juxtaposing flavors create a symphony for the taste buds and help tame predispositions to food cravings.  Lastly, these colors are stunning and can help brighten the mood on a dull day.

“Eating your greens” has never been easier with this salad!  So dense and full of protein (yes…protein), minerals, antioxidants, and most importantly, FLAVOR!  Create this salad using all of Your senses:  How does it look, smell, taste?  Do you need more salt or more sweetness?  It’s all about not taking a recipe too seriously, relying on personal preference and letting the creativity fly!
