This refreshing winter salad will leave you feeling nourished and energized. I love radicchio, a bitter green that helps with detoxification throughout the body – it is also one of the most potent anti-cancer foods. Bitter foods (like arugula too) kickstart your enzymes, getting your body ready to digest the beautiful nutrients you just ate! The white beans will give you the fiber and protein you need to satisfy your appetite. Love this one!
