Many patients with chronic chest pain or erectile dysfunction, may need these nitrates to provide that arterial dilation. Try this recipe below and feel the nitrates pumping!

Notes
- This salad doesn't store or sit well, so If you aren't planning on making ahead of time, do not toss all the ingredients together or toss with the dressing.
