A friend of mine has lost 10 pounds in 10 days just by using Greens powder and eating a diet of 80% raw, alkalizing foods and 20% less-alkalizing! She wanted me to share this recipe with everyone.

Here's the bean salad that I thought would work really well on the diet. Obviously, you wouldn't want to use the vinegar. Hope you enjoy it. Pass it on. :)
