Healing Food: Meditarianen Summer Salad w/ Pomegranate dressing
This Salad was so Beautiful to me that I just did not want to destroy it by eating it!
But it would of been a waste not to eat it, what would I have done stared at it all evening?
My stomach was rumbling so it wasn't that hard to tuck in the end and there's something so satisfying by giving your body food full of vibrancy and goodness!

The artichoke season has been in full swing here although it is starting to slow down now, so I grabbed a few whilst they are still fresh. Even though artichokes are so abundant here, I don't buy them as much as I would of liked because they require time to be boiled separately and it's something I find takes up a bit of extra time. But they are so tasty, have a fantastic texture and full of so many health benefits.

This looks absolutely beautiful. i can't wait til artichoke season - they're so delicious! I love them marinated in ACV with garlic and herbs and olive oil. You're right though - they take a while to prep, and when you grow them yourself, you have to get all the bugs out of them - the earwigs love hiding in the folds of the petals. Your salad looks so yum and colourful!
Love your entry this week :) It's so beautiful and I agree with you 100% - anyone who would eat this incredible healing food would certainly be more radiant! <3
