Super Salad Recipe for Your Family
Vic Shayne, PhD
When I used to consult people on their nutrition in my office, one of the most common statements was, “I do eat healthy. I eat salads.” But a few minutes later it became clear that there’s a big misunderstanding about what makes a salad healthful. If you eat iceberg lettuce and dressing from a bottle, you’re not doing yourself or your family much good. If you eat spinach leaves that are not organic, you are actually eating poisons. But fear no more, for here’s a delicious salad recipe made from scratch.
All of the foods below should be organically grown, including the olive oil and honey mustard dressing. This recipe takes 15 minutes:
- Use raw spinach leaves as the base for the salad.
- Add 3/4 Pink Lady apple
- Add handful walnuts
- Add eight miniature carrots
- Add 1/2 zucchini diced into small pieces
- Add 2 slices of grilled turkey bacon diced into tiny pieces
- Cover with olive oil and a small amount of Annie’s honey mustard
- Mix well
That’s it! A super healthful salad that contains vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential fatty acids, vitamin K, folate, carotenoids, enzymes, antioxidants chlorophyll and more.
