Since I have saved my tomatoes from the hungry birds, it is time to enjoy them! Add in some Florida cucumber, green beans, and red onion, and you have a refreshing and hydrating salad on a muggy summer day. Vitamin C, B, and K are a few of the main nutrients your body will be loving!

Florida Summer Salad

• 1 large tomato, chopped
  

• 1 medium cucumber, chopped
  

• 1 cup cut green beans (about 1/2″ pieces)
  

• 1/4 cup red onion, diced

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

• 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic (you can make your own pre-made minced garlic)

• 1 tablespoon vinegar of your choice

• 2 teaspoons of clean oil (olive, coconut, or nut oil)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Place vinegar, oil, and garlic into a large bowl and stir. Place in veggies and parsley. Add salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine. Eat alone or serve with lettuce cups, over your favorite greens, with grilled chicken, or mixed with quinoa or brown rice.
