Sparkling Autumn Salad

Cool autumn weather brings crisp greens and beautiful bouquets of spinach, romaine, bok choy and lots of fresh beautiful berries! Combine the two together and you get one heck of a salad. This salad is a delightful array of colors and textures. Each bite is exciting bursting with flavor with a new dimension of crunch, crisp, sweet, spicy with a little tang. Add balsamic vinaigrette and stand back as flavors unite harmoniously! I made us this salad early on this month and keep going back for more as it's so delicious and it makes you feel fantastic! Light yet filling to make you feel bright, light, refreshed and ready for the next part of your day. Harmonize your body, mind and pH levels as you eat to your vibrant health so you may shine forth and sparkle from the inside out!
