Wholesome World Salad

Wholesome Super World Salad

Boost your health defences with this nutrient filled Wholesome World Salad that truly encompasses the ‘eat the rainbow’ ethos. This contains lots of colourful fruits and vegetables, these provide an amazing array anticancer of plant vitamins and minerals.

Key ingredients:

The variety of ingredients in this one is vast but I’ll pull out some key foods that pack a punch when it comes to loading up on nourishment.

Red pepper, the brightest of all, contains beta carotenes which are anticancer nutrients and good for eye health too. Did you know though, that a green pepper has a higher concentration of vitamin C than a orange?

Sauerkraut is an excellent addition to salads too as this fermented food is fantastic for enhancing your gut bacteria. It’s a cancerous warrior – but not good during cancer treatment. Download the app for my simple sauerkraut recipe.

Alfalfa sprouts are a great addition to any salad as they have very high levels of calcium. Any ‘living foods’ such as sprouted seeds will have higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals.

Maybe you could try growing your own on the kitchen window sill? One of the easiest and best things you can do for your health. Find out how to grow your own sprouted seeds here.

The coconut yogurt is a dressing thickener, makes your salad even more solid, but if you prefer lighter dressings, its good without too.
