Yesterday at the farmer’s market, I bought a bag of beautiful, organic mixed lettuce leaves. Tonight I threw together a salad for dinner with everything I had on hand. There is nothing like a fresh salad. It tastes great and feels so good in my body afterwards! Leafy greens are one of the treasures of this earth!
