MY Favourite SUMMER SIDE SALAD
This is one of my all time favourite salads. It’s super easy to make, and packs a nutritional punch, supporting everything from hormone balance, to gut health, to bone strength. I personally love serving with homemade burgers (beet burgers, or chickpea & carrot are my favourites), and having leftovers topped with tinned tuna or salmon. Crunchy and satisfying, this summer salad is healthy and nutritious. Yum!
Benefits of kaleslaw
Not only is this recipe quick and easy to make, it’s also a bit of a superhero for our health. Rich in calcium, omega-3 fats, and vitamin K from cruciferous veggies, this lovely salad can help soothe joint aches and pains, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties supporting bone health, as well as contributing to optimal bowel health thanks to its high fibre content.
