Full of bright colors and flavors
If you’re looking for a new autumn salad, try this one from our functional medicine experts. It’s full of flavor — roasted beets, fresh figs and chopped walnuts — nestled on a bed of arugula. It’s great on its own for lunch or paired with roasted chicken for dinner.
