Most people’s idea of salad is a drab boring affair of iceberg lettuce and out of season tomatoes. I’m here to change that perception, because a really good salad is far from boring. A proper salad should be bursting with life, flavor and should cause YOU to burst with energy.
Eating more salad is a great way to detoxify and alkalize. Raw fruits, vegetables and fats in a well balanced salad will give your body valuable enzymes that make digestion easy, fuelling you with more energy instead of depleting it. Isn’t that what food is supposed to do?!
A well balanced salad should have a variety of colors, textures and flavors. By combining seasonal fruits, nuts and seeds you’ve suddenly created a beautiful meal instead of just an uninspired “necessity” on the plate.
Here’s a recipe for a delicious salad that’s sure to increase your energy, ease your digestion and supercharge your entire day!
