Here is an incredible quick fix salad that ROCKS! I call it the 'Goddess' salad because I use the Annie's Natural Original Goddess Dressing....OMG...this dressing is absolutely tart and tangy to the palette! If Annie's dressing is not in your budget...Trader Joe's makes an awesome Goddess Dressing for a buck ninety nine...and it passed the taste test! I also buy the organic mixed spring salad mix at TJ's!
1 bag of organic salad (mixed spring is my fave!)
1 cup of sliced unsalted almonds
1 cup of cranberries (fresh is best..but TJ's has a nice packaged CB)
1 cup of feta cheese
Mix in dressing to your liking...I like my greens drenched!!!
Sesame seeds/ walnuts / or pecans can be replaced for the almonds! Nut are heart smart..and top it off with a glass of white wine....chard or sauvignon blanc~

Say Nuts to Heart Disease
Adding nuts to your diet may reduce the risk of heart disease
By Richard N. Fogoros, M.D., About.com
In a recent issue of Nutrition Reviews, researchers from Penn State University report that regularly eating nuts significantly reduces the incidence of coronary artery disease.
The researchers, led by Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton, distinguished professor of nutrition, conducted a formal review of 16 studies that have been conducted over the years examining the question of whether nuts can help prevent heart disease. They concluded that, based on this large amount of available data, eating an ounce of nuts more than five times a week can reduce the risk of coronary artery disease by an astounding 25 – 39%. (An ounce is 3 – 4 tablespoons of nuts.)
