Chopped Salad for Better Nutrition

My Aunt Bridie and Uncle Frank from Galway, Ireland introduced me to the chopped salad this spring.

When we chew salad we do a woeful job of actually tearing it apart enough to glean all the nutritional benefits. The other reason why this chopped salad is more nutritious is because of the big variety of greens, sulphur based, and colorful veggies you’ll be getting which is right in line with the highly regarded advice by Dr. Terry Wahls on how to eat for your health.
