This is a great way to get several servings of antioxidant-rich vegetables into your diet – along with good quality protein and anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids. Many restaurants offer salads similar to this one and you can make one at home in very little time.
Serve & enjoy!
Adding seeds (sunflower, flax, hemp) and nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews) can help boost the fibre, mineral and protein content of your salad.
Enjoy with wholegrain crackers – preferably with seeds.
