Alkaline Diet Recipe: Basil Mint Green Salad

 

 

Last time, I shared the 5 best ways to get alkaline quickly and easily this summer. And one of those ways is to eat more salads using fresh, seasonal ingredients that you love. It’s so much better than toiling over a hot stove for hours each night!

So today, I’ve got a delicious, herbaceous salad that you’re going to love. It’s got lots of tasty crunch and the dressing might become your new favorite. It’s aromatic, savory, and just a little bit sweet without the acid.

Give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.
