I don't know about you, but during these times, I can almost hear my body begging for a healthy salad. Listen to your body and harness the cleansing, invigorating power of nutrient-rich food to give your body the break it needs -- to recover from what it doesn't. Mix up a big batch of this cleansing salad courtesy of Whole Living Magazine, and enjoy the energy payoff you get from true food fuel.
