Hot ‘n Cold Tasty Salad combo’s

Salads are not just for Summers. By adding a hot meat or fish to a nicely dressed, interesting salad, it is a taste explosion in the mouth. Unbelievable good and very filling.

People wanting to lose weight often skip the oils in salad dressings. Please don’t skip your omega 3 or omega 9 hits. They help to reduce inflammation in conditions such as joint pain, skin flare-ups, dry hair and memory loss.
