A healthy vitamin salad is perfect for any season!
Vitamins are always needed, year round. So when you’re prepping salad recipes, don’t skip over a tasty vitamin-filled salad with the freshest ingredients! It’s a great option. Hot summer days can be refreshed and the winter season with colds can be fought with one simple salad. Don’t you love a delicious salad that can do it all? I sure do.
But this healthy salad packs in more than just vitamins. Taking each ingredient apart, we see each one contains so many benefits! Flavor and nutrition sometimes don’t come hand in hand, but it’s my goal to make salads that make them agree with each other, and this salad definitely makes the cut. When you’re preparing your weekly menu with healthy food, don’t forget about this salad. It’s a delicious way to enjoy the antioxidant properties of raw vegetables as a side dish and improve a balanced diet!
So here are some examples: Beets heal acne, detox the blood, and contain anti-aging properties. They have phytonutrients that protect cells from free radicals. Carrots reduce the risk of stroke, prevent cancer, and boost the immune system. Apples give you energy with B vitamins, improve brain function, and improve eyesight. Green onions are anti-viral, prevent arthritis, and kill bacteria. This salad is a great way (and an easy way, too) to clue in on the vitamins nature has to offer!
Let’s put this salad together! You will need:
Beets supply you with vitamin C and manganese.
Carrots contain fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin E.
Apples support gut bacteria, vitamin B, and contain lots of antioxidants! You’ll need one or two medium apples, depending on how much of this salad you want to make.
Green onion gives your body vitamin K and vitamin C.
