This is great all by itself or you can scoop up the 'salad' with pita chips ... also great!

We have enjoyed the tuna, salmon, sardines, goat cheese, and eggs of late. Nothing extreme, but a couple times a week we add those foods to our salads or whatever we're eating.

I have always loved salmon, but the farmed variety never reaches our plates! Why? Read this and make your own decision.

Much like choosing head lettuce or spring greens - both are available, both can be organic, but there is a difference in nutrition. Again, read this and make your own decision. Bottom line regarding lettuce is mix it up! Try new varieties and don't forget spinach and kale!
