Embracing a whole food plant-based diet and natural health.
The bright orange colouring of pumpkin and the bright red colouring of beetroot suggests that these two root vegetables are full of key nutrients. Add in some greens as well as tofu for a protein source and you have a superfood salad which is really a meal in itself rather than a side dish!
Kale has become known as the “Queen of the Greens” containing high levels of Iron, Vitamin K, C and A as well as powerful anti-oxidants (particularly Lutein – great for supporting eye health) and anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with nutrient dense broccoli and a dressing of tahini which is high in calcium this (almost) raw superfood salad is a winner for nutritional value.
I love zucchini noodles! They form the basis of a fresh, healthy, raw salad and combine well with basil pesto. As a bonus, zucchinis are low in calories due to their high water content yet they are very nutritious containing high levels of potassium, manganese and the antioxidants Vitamin C and A.
