Raspberry Pistachio Salad

​It's time for me to "lighten up" - in more ways than one.  I have a tendency to dwell on things that are really not important in my life.  For the purposes of the blog however, I will let you in on my secrets to how I am going to "lighten up" my diet and spare you the details of how I tend to get hung on negative energy.  

​I started with a bed of romaine and spinach leaves.

​I added pistachios, fresh mint and fresh raspberries. 

​For the dressing, I whisked together some blood orange olive oil, the juice from a Meyer lemon and a teaspoon of sugar.

This was one delicious dinner.  The key for me to "lighten up" is to make healthy food that tastes really great.  As for the other "lightening up" - still working on that. 

Ciao!
