We love this summertime salad – it features mineral rich leafy greens and veggies, healthy fats from the olives and is super high in antioxidants like vitamin C from all those peppers. It’s high in fiber and a tasty way to get in your cruciferous veggies and bitter veggies like kale and artichoke hearts, which both support hormone metabolism and healthy digestion.
