Berries and Green Salad
My sister-in-law made this salad for dinner during our visit to North Carolina. I watched her make it and it is very simple to put together. It contains two of my favorite foods berries and greens(the romaine lettuce and baby spinach). The dressing is low in calories and fat. Ideal for those of us who watch their fat intake. Walnuts added to this recipe give it a good crunch. This recipe is very nutritious as well as delicious. It contains vitamins, phytochemicals, and omega 3 fatty acids. Enjoy!
