Spinach and White Bean Salad with Oranges and Grapefruit
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. 100% orange juice
2 drops Orange Vitality Oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
Sea salt and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)
Orange Vitality Essential Oil has a wonderful aroma and taste. It is high in antioxidants and supports your immune system!
1 medium navel orange
1 medium pink grapefruit
10 packed cups fresh organic baby spinach (or mesclun greens)
2 (15-oz.) cans cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
Preparation:
1. Combine oil, orange juice, orange oil and vinegar in a small bowl; whisk to blend.
2. Season with salt and pepper if desired; mix well. Set aside.
3. Slice off ends of orange and grapefruit so they can sit flat on work surface. Slice downward around fruit to remove peel and white pith. Slice peeled fruit crosswise into half-inch-thick circles, removing any seeds. Cut grapefruit slices in half. Arrange slices evenly on four serving plates.
4. Combine spinach and beans in a large bowl; toss to blend.
5. Drizzle with dressing; toss gently to blend.
6. Divide spinach mixture evenly among four plates.

Warm griddle. Cook through the middle and well browned.

Einkorn Flour is an ancient grain with only 15 chromosomes. It is much more digestible than modern wheat. Young Living carries it. I have also found it at Mennonite stores. Co-ops often carry ancient grains. They are better for you! You can order online through Young Living. If in a pinch, you could use a sprouted flour or whole wheat but it isn’t as healthy.
Cinnamon Vitality Essential Oil supports the normalization of blood sugars and supports the immune system.
Vanilla Spice Pure Protein Complete is my favorite protein powder. The aroma is incredible. I just want to sniff the bag. It dissolves easily, even in water and has great taste. Other proteins I have tried are chalky and I don’t like the texture of them.
