Mixed Baby Greens with Blackberries and Pecans With Champagne Vinaigrette
This is an elegant salad full of antioxidants, fiber and vitamin E and C. Baby greens and arugula tossed with pecans and berries is a nice light salad to complement a meal. This salad relies on different textures rather than fat for flavor. Sweet, crunchy pecans, peppery arugula, and juicy berries all complimented with a light vinaigrette.

As a child I always asked my parents if we could go to a fast food restaurant, the Quick or the MC Donalds.Now when I’m older I still go to fast food restaurants but deep down in my heart I know it’s not healthy and especially not when it comes to losing weight.
But fastfood has become a way for some people, in fact I do not know a country or big city where they have no Mc Donalds restaurant.
