My chicken, apple and strawberry salad is refreshing and light and makes a wonderful springtime lunch.
An extremely versatile fruit, the strawberry is great in salads, desserts, and with proteins. They’re also perfect in smoothies and as a snack. Since they are number one on the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list (the highest in pesticide residue), be sure to buy them organic. Depending on where you live, they’re in season late April through August.
Serves 2.

I have been diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome and have gut issues. A lot of chronic stress with 2 businesses and family medical concerns. Are there good tests for chronic fatigue and adrenal fatigue. Had a bulls eye rash 2 years ago from a tick bite in Missouri (possible Lyme) and trying to figure a baseline plan. Extremely tired, mcas and gut issues are main symptoms. Ran across your histamine article – mast cell disorder or Methylation imbalance. Do you know anyone you could recommend in or around St. Louis, Mo. Any suggestions would help. Thanks
