The Healthy Salad |
My favorite salad is as easy to prepare as it's healthy – full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants.
In short, it's a delicious health bomb made with easy to find ingredients.
Another plus is that it's ready to serve in 10-15 minutes. The salad makes the perfect snack or a refreshing side dish.

You can keep the salad in a plastic container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The salad actually matures and tastes better after a few hours of refrigeration.
Now, let's take a look at the two main components, the vegetables and the salad sauce.
Now, let's take a look at the two main components, the vegetables and the salad sauce.
Vegetables And Salad Sauce
Pick vegetables of varying textures and colors. For example, green lettuce and red cabbage. This way the salad will take on a more appetizing look and taste better too.
The salad sauce itself is really healthy and the more sauce you prepare, the fresher the taste. Another important point is that juicy tomatoes also enhance the taste of the sauce.

Selecting Ingredients
Use whatever basic vegetables you have at hand including lettuce, red cabbage, red onion, garlic, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, celery and carrot. Experiment by adding your favorite ingredients, be creative and have fun!
Rinse the veggies and cut them into medium-size pieces. As a general rule, use a small amount of red onion and garlic because of their sharp flavors.
Some grated fresh carrot makes the salad even juicier. Raisins, black olives and your favorite nuts blend well too. Now, put all the ingredients in a bowl.

The Salad Sauce
The sauce is as delicious as it's healthy – rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Either use half a lemon or a lime. Squeeze the juice into a cup and add an equal amount of extra virgin olive oil. If you're on a diet, use less oil.
Season with salt and a little black pepper. A tasty option is to add herbs such as oregano and basil. Pour the salad sauce over the vegetables and mix well. Cover and refrigerate immediately.
Bon appetite!
