Raspberry Pistachio Salad (vegan & gluten free)

This crisp and colorful summer salad will make the perfect addition to any Labor Day Weekend BBQ!  It's a great balance of sweet and savory, and has just the right crunch.  



Raspberries are high in vitamin C and fiber and also contain powerful antioxidants called anthocyanidins. These phytonutrients have anti-inflammatory effects within the body, and have even been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in laboratory studies. 



Pistachios are high in the carotenoids lutein and beta-carotene which support eye health.  Additionally, these little guys have even been shown to effectively lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.  So go nuts  :)
