This is a recipe that my partner Jeremy came up with last summer and it’s now a summer time staple for us. It’s great to have for dinner on a really hot night or if you don’t feel like eating too much protein. What’s great about it is that it is filled with so many amazing super foods.
- Fresh raw greens for high amounts of phytonutrients and vitamin C.
- Activated nuts for cholesterol lowering protein.
- Blueberries and goji berries deliver high levels of antioxidants.
- Seaweed is high in iodine and great for thyroid function.
- Chia seeds are one of the highest sources of omega 3 which reduce inflammation.
- Avocado contains 25 essential nutrients and delivers a good dose of healthy fats.
- Sea salt has so many health benefits including regulating water content throughout the body.
- Apple cider vinegar is a natural digestive aid and also a naturally fermented food to assist with healthy gut function.
- Olive oil when used raw (cold pressed & organic of course) has heart health benefits.
The best thing about this salad is that it is totally DELICIOUS and you feel AMAZING after you have eaten it.
