Spring Mix

I'm already seeing some very positive results in the levels of inflammation in my body and the lack of recurring acne.  After speaking with my colleague about inflammatory foods, it makes sense that cutting dairy, gluten, and refined sugars would help. I've researched into how dairy can exacerbate inflammatory processes and bog down your lymph vessels (mind you, this process does not occur in everybody).  I'm just so happy to see that my almost always edematic ankle is slim and beautiful again.  


Today for lunch I will be eating a delightfully colourful salad that is a-ok for my tummy.


You will need:


1 nice handful of fresh yellow or green beans, ends removed 
1 nice handful of sweet peas 
1 bunch of sliced radishes (slices don't have to be too thin)
1 bunch of dill (to taste of course) chopped
1 bunch of parsley (to taste) chopped
2 yellow or orange tomatoes 
Olive Oil 
1/2 lemon squished for all its juice


Bring a pot full of water to a boil with a bit of salt in it.  Add the yellow beans and whole peas, and blanche for about 2 minutes.  Empty the veggies into a colander, and douse with cold water.  In a large bowl mix up the beans, peas, tomatoes, and radishes.  To make the dressing, pour some olive oil into a container you can seal (amount depends on your taste for dressings, and how much salad you are making).  Add your lemon juice, chopped dill and parsley, salt and pepper to taste.  Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake.  Pour the dressing over the salad et voila!  Delish!
