It officially reached the hundreds last week!! Summer is in full swing after a beautifully cool month this past May. Once the temps are over 100, I do prefer to eat as many foods as I can raw to help cool me down. I had been wanting to create a green bean salad since last summer and finally got around to it! (There are only so many hours in a day…and season.) \u00a0I decided to go a more traditional route and was not disappointed. This traditional green bean salad is\u00a0so easy and refreshing, plus incredibly beneficial.<\/p>\n

This salad provides us with a significant amount of vitamin C thanks to the greenbeans, lemon and tomatoes. We also help boost our immune system with the red onion, keep our fiber intake high and a dose of healthy fats thanks to almonds and extra virgin olive oil.
