Spring Salads

Spring Salads are a wonderful way to feel the freshness of spring and to enliven your body with minerals and vitamins.    This one was created out of whatever I had left in the fridge and so I remembered reading about an avocado, orange salad and thought okay I can add some extra color with strawberries and radishes, cucumbers and fresh herbs and hidden believe it or not is some steamed collards.  I splashed some balsamic vinegar over it and yum, after one bowl I wanted to devour another but couldn't quite do it.   So I have another bowl for lunch today.   Salads like this nourish our body's yin and blood and hence superb for good egg quality.  Whereas the Winter Stews because of their warming nature support spleen and kidney yang and help with keeping progesterone levels and the luteal phase of the cycle.
