Happy New Year, my friends! Let's start the New Year off on the right foot.
Every year we make resolutions, some we keep, some we break. I told myself this year
that I would drink more water, eat more greens and exercise a little more. I'm the type
of person that likes to indulge a bit and keep a happy balance in life. You will always
find delicious baked goods and that won't stop with this coming year but I do plan on
posting a lot more healthy treats for you. It's going to be an amazing 2013!!!
Antioxidant Salad with Lemon Dressing
3 cups of spinach
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
8 strawberries
1 green apple
2 celery stalks
1 cucumber
walnuts or almonds -optional
1) Mix your salad and I served it with a Honey Lemon Dressing posted below
but feel free to use your favorite. Enjoy.
Honey Lemon Dressing. 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoons grated lemon zest,
1 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix well.
I wish you all a very happy and warm new year, full of joy, happiness and
success. Happy New Year!
Just what I need to start 2013 off with! Looks delicious!
