Bitter Green Salad With Sweet Orange Dressing

Bitter greens, while great for aiding the liver in its work, are well, bitter. So I pair them with a sweet dressing that lights up the salad with its delicate orange flavor. The olives provide pantothenic acid, iron, vitamin E, and monounsaturated fats for heart health, so don’t skimp on them. This is a very delicious plant based cooking recipe.
