Delicious Raw Fall Salad

I’ve been mastering the art of creating yummy raw salads ever since I learned the benefits of eating raw foods and fell in love raw salads.

I threw this salad together last week and have been making it almost daily since. It’s packed full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other good-for-you nutrients, as well as protein and that perfect balance of good fats and good carbs. Make an extra large batch and store it in the refrigerator for snacking and lunch the next day.
