Salad is the food of the wise who glow with life... The variations of it are sheer endless and it's by far my favourite food category.

The secrets to a good salad:

- fresh, zesty ingredients

- multiple types of leaves

- varying colours and textures

- layering of ingredients

- herbs from your garden

- add nuts or seeds (roasted or raw)

- fruits give sweetness

and don't forget to dress it up!

If you are time poor or don't know how to make a dressing: Unfiltered, cold pressed olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and a hint of honey or maple syrup go a long way. You can choose to pour freely or combine carefully :-)

Serve in cabbage-, or large salad leaves to add a bit of fun to the table.

Health Benefit

Dark green leafy vegetables are, calorie for calorie, probably the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food. They are a rich source of minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins. They also provide a variety of phytonutrients including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which protect our cells from damage and our eyes from age-related problems, among many other effects. When it comes to leafy greens, you get a green light to eat as much as you want — that's how good they are for you!
