Mixed Greens with Edamame, Radish, and Avocado

• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup fresh or frozen shelled edamame, mixed with a spritz of fresh lime juice and a pinch of sea salt
• 4 radishes, trimmed and sliced
• 1/2 avocado, spritzed with fresh lime juice and sprinkled with sea salt (so it doesnt discolor)
• 1/4 cup Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette (page 181)

1. Combine the greens with the edamame, radishes, and avocado in a large bowl.
2. Add the vinaigrette and toss to combine.
3. If you must store the salad, dont add the dressing.
4. Store the greens and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 day at most.

12. Some people, especially women dealing with breast cancer, have concerns about eating soy.
13. The issue is whether compounds in soy have estrogenic effects that could encourage tumor growth.
14. I put the question to Joel Evans, MD, founder and director of the Center for Womens Health, where he practices integrative obstetrics and gynecology.
15. Soy is fine in moderation, except for women on tamoxifen, says Evans.
16. Im not talking about something small like soy sauce, but major ingredients in a dish.
17. The reason is, soy will knock the tamoxifen drug off the tamoxifen receptor in the body.
18. Its not that its harming you directly, but its taking away the benefit of the tamoxifen.
19. Youre on it for a reason; if you eat soy, youll lose that benefit.
20. Evans says that for everyone else, fermented soy is preferable, such as miso and tempeh.
21. He suggests limiting soy to three to five 3-ounce servings per week.
