Basil Mint Green Salad Recipe by Dr. Daryl

For all of the conflicting information out there about what to eat, what not to eat, and how to diet, there’s one constant that just about everyone can agree on...

Eat more salad!

And for good reason – salads are an easy way to get tons of nutrients without tons of calories or carbs. They fill you up while allowing you to slim down.

That’s why I love having salads like this one in my arsenal. The flavorful dressing is an herbaceous change of pace for your taste buds, and yet it’s so easy to prepare in just a few minutes.

It’s also really versatile. You can change up what you throw on the salad, and if you have different herbs, try tossing them in the dressing instead of parley, mint, or basil.
