Meatless Monday. Think Green.

Meatless Monday – though salads are great every day! Do something good for your mind, body and spirit each day .. as well as the environment. Health is wealth.
I usually make my own dressing too, no hidden calories. I have some edamame in this mixture organic mixed greens salad for a bit of protein, roasted corn as summer comes to an end too .. black beans are good with this one as well. I added almonds rather than croutons.

My Go To Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing :

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oul

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or orange juice, or pomegranate juice

1 tablespoon fresh crushed garlic (optional) – I love garlic and it’s good for you! No fresh garlic? You can substitute with garlic powder.

1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs

1 teaspoon dried or fresh parley- you can also use cilantro to change up recipe and depending on what you’re pairing it with

1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt

Fresh cracked pepper or a course grind.

In small bowl whisk together all ingredients, you can also use your food processor.

Use a measuring spoon to drizzle on salad as you wish and depending on size of your salad. If you keep these items handy you can always whip together a cute and healthy vinaigrette dressing.

Hopefully my posts inspire you.
