This salad is the star of any barbecue dinner
and is more than just healthy.
A fresh, crisp salad is simply indispensable in the summer, poof all the recipes from last year are brought out again. We then like to stroll around the market or linger a little longer in the supermarket at the fruits and vegetables than we normally do to find the best ingredients.
It’s even nicer when we can pick the ingredients directly from the garden, but even without that, there are many possibilities to get a fresh salad and other fruits and vegetables and to conjure up great creations. Because when we sit under a blue sky on the terrace, balcony or garden, we do not want to have a dreary meal in front of us.
But mixing the perfect salad is sometimes not so easy and can, unfortunately, end up in a very tasteless result. In addition to the ingredients for the salad, the dressing also plays a key role. Without this, the salad cannot show its full variety of flavors. Today we show you the best recipe for a summer salad that is not only insanely delicious, but also renews your cells!
The variety makes it
At this wonderful warm time of year, there is an incredible variety of fruits and vegetables. That’s why it’s hard to decide what to put in the perfect salad. Since our focus is always on giving your body that extra something for longevity, we looked at which foods are anti-inflammatory and support your cell renewal.
The result is a wonderful variety of leafy greens with Crispy Tofu that is rich in isofalvones and lectins, which are powerful anti-inflammatories. Grapefruit, which are not only rich in vitamin C and boost our metabolism, but also have a special influence on our intestines and act like a natural antibiotic. As a crunch, natural roasted nuts should not be missing.
Of course, all nuts are nutritious, but there are some special ones among them. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but almonds are also known for their healthy fats and fiber, pistachios for protein and Brazil nuts for their high selenium content.
