Italian Anti-Pasto Salad

Welcome to our blog!!
I am so excited to get this going, and have a blog going again!! I love sharing everything we've learned and opening up our lives. I hope you enjoy our recipes we share, which are always Gluten-Free. We've learned so much the past couple years about the effects that food can have on your mental and physical health. I completely believe that food can either be the worst form of poison, or the most powerful medicine. We've had personal experience of overcoming depression, and an eating disorder through clean eating, vitamins and Shakeology. We'll share more of our stories later on, but today I wanted to share a yummy salad that I found online. I can't stand the thought of turning on the oven when summertime starts coming around. I just want something light and refreshing that I can throw together quickly! Like this gem I found on skinnytaste.com :
