MY FAVORITE SUMMER SALAD

IT'S NOT ONLY DELICIOUS...IT FILLS YOU UP!

Place lots of arugula (my personal favorite) or any lettuce on a plate

Add radishes, tomatoes, avocado, fresh peas, red kidney beans or garbanzo beans (for protein), fresh peppers and whatever else you'd like.

Toss salad with apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Enjoy!
