Super Salad Workshop
Help welcome back spring with a super salad workshop! A workshop to inspire you to eat more vegetables AND enjoy them! Salads can be so misunderstood. They don’t have to be soggy lettuce topped with boring raw vegetables drenched in a flavorless dressing. Let’s redefine the salad. Think beyond romaine, ranch, and unripe tomatoes. Salads can be a main course, rich in superfoods to keep you full and satisfied.
Whether you already love salads or you’re just trying to eat a little cleaner, join Dr. Axtell for this “Doctor in the Kitchen” workshop where you will learn to build a balanced one-dish wonder and sample super salads.
When: Thursday, May 11th at 6:00pm
Cost: $50 (includes food samples and recipes)
Registration: Call (414) 939-4748 or email info@lakesidnaturalmedicine.com to reserve your spot
More information found at https://lakesidenaturalmedicine.com/events/super-salads/.
