This salad has only 6 ingredients and takes only a few minutes. Steam or lightly sauté a handful of green beans with a sliced red pepper. Add half a chopped red onion, some shaved carrot, fresh parsley, squeeze one juicy lime, and sea salt to taste. If you want an extra treat, half a sliced avocado is heaven. Full of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, this salad is sure to fill you up and energize your day. 

Source local, aim for organic, make an effort to compost your waste, and feel proud that home-cooked simple meals like this not only nourish your body and your spirit but a healthy planet.
