FARMERS MARKET SALAD

Don’t ask me why, but I just love the Farmers Market. I love walking down the street, looking at all the gorgeous, fresh veggies, and shopping with local farmers. And of course, cooking it all when I get home! And given the fact that organic, fresh picked product has a higher nutrient content, it for sure tastes better too.

Like I always say, feel free to play around with this recipe and add anything that sounds good! Salads are such a great way to get a ton of variety in your diet (and variety in your diet = variety in your gut microbiome), so throw in anything you have on hand! And of course, any protein - salmon, tuna, chicken, or steak - would be awesome on top too.

Here is the recipe for my Farmer’s Market Salad!
