Salad is good for the whole body

A fresh salad is the most delicious and healthiest dish you can eat on the side or as a main dish. It can accompany warm food and adds all the vitamins and nutrients to a meal. A mixed rainbow salad is the best because all veggies contain different vitamins, and together, they add up to supply you with a health boost.

The skin loves raw vegetables too, she gets a glow of freshness and health, and all wrinkles disappear. Also, because fresh vegetables contain a good amount of vitamin-rich fluid which the skin absorbs,

Every day a fresh salad also gives you energy. Raw vegetables are the richest sources of nutrients you can eat. After a salad, you never feel full or uncomfortable, and every heavy warm dish is easier to digest when it is accompanied by a fresh salad.

How do I make my delicious rainbow salad?

The name rainbow salad derives from the colorful variety of raw vegetables which I put in my salad. It depends on what is in my fridge, but I try to have always a variety of different veggies in the home. The colors tell you that they contain different nutrients and vitamins.

First step:
Select your vegetables

In my rainbow salad of this article, I put the following ingredients:

• Red pepper – Rich in vitamin A and C and potassium
• Orange pepper – Rich in vitamin A and C and potassium
• Yellow pepper – Rich in vitamin A and C and potassium
• Carrots – Rich in vitamin A and potassium
• Red cabbage – Rich in vitamin C and K and calcium
• Celery – Rich in vitamin K
• Cucumber – Rich in vitamin K and potassium
• Avocado – Rich in vitamin K and potassium
• Raddish – Rich in vitamin K and potassium
• Spinach – Rich in vitamin K and magnesium

All veggies boost your immune system and are anti-inflammatory. They also help with weight loss when you eat them regularly and raw, and keep the main dishes fat-free and the portions not too big.

Second step:
Choose how big you want your salad

Decide if it is a side dish, main dish and how many people are eating? For two people, I recommend;

• 1/8 of a red, orange, and yellow pepper
• A medium carrot
• A small piece of red cabbage
• One stick Celery
• A piece of cucumber
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1 handful baby spinach leaves

Third step:
Cut and arrange after colors

The eye also loves food. After cutting all pieces into small pieces or slices, arrange your salad bowl after colors.

Fourth step:
Eat with a dressing of your choice

My dressing is a mix of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Very simple, but very good. Enjoy!
