Entrance of Spring ~ Salad time!

The weather is quickly becoming perfect for summer salads here in the great state of Arizona, where already we are praying at the holy temple of the Swimming Pool with great abandon and pleasure, saluting the sun like some kind of long-lost warm friend. Mercury moves into direct motion today, helping to clarify our communication. What have we learned in the last three weeks? Have you been able to refine or clarify anything in your life? in your communication style? in your relationship with technology?

In honor of the arrival of spring this week, here is a description of a vegetarian bean salad:

-handful of black beans
-torn pieces of orange
-handful of seeds/nuts
-chopped jicama
-sliced kiwi
-handful of corn (organic, non-GMO)

I call this the "Handful" salad - it's just a handful of this and a handful of that, with a squeeze of orange juice and lime juice for dressing. If you are a seafood eater, you may wish to add shrimp.

Note: No pot was harmed to make this meal. It was completely un-cooked from it's inception. Someone else did the black bean cookin, so that doesn't count. Obviously.

The Sun enters Aries on March 20th, heralding the beginning of the Spring season.This is an excellent time for new beginnings and creative visualization. May this coming season bring great peace into your lives.
Namaste,
Jane
