Fresh Green Salad with Almond-Lemon Dressing
Choose the brightest, most colorful lettuce because that’s how you know it has the most nutrients and antioxidants. Lettuce also has folate, potassium, beta carotene and lutein. To add a little bit of flavor and texture on top of the salad, we love Simply Veganista’s almond lime dressing! The nutty flavor of almond butter blends well with lemon.
