This is my husband's favourite salad - he loves salad and most of all salad with avo. For me, avo or feta complete a salad. :) We have this with dinner several times a week - it's fresh, easy, quick to make and so healthy (also alkalising). The more ways you can find to add raw fresh foods to your diet, the better.
2 tomatoes
1/4 cucumber
2 leaves lettuce
1 stick celery
1/4 large green pepper
1 avocado
2 tbs sunflower seeds
2 tbs pumpkin seeds
drizzle olive oil
Himalayan crystal salt, to taste
Dice, slice and chop the veggies, sprinkle over the seeds, olive oil and salt, mix and serve.
I don't particularly like celery actually, but it's so healthy that I include it anyway - it's good for the kidneys, helping them to eliminate waste; it helps cleanse the body of toxins; it contains a lot of nutrients such as Vit. C, fibre, folic acid, potassium and compounds known as coumarins and acetylenics which help prevent free radicals from damaging cells, aids in cancer prevention and has also been show to stop the growth of tumors.
I grow my own basil, so when I have that on hand I love to add it with this salad.
I also sprout mung beans, alfalfa seeds and chickpeas, so when I have these on hand as well I add them to salads. They're extremely nutritious - I'll post some info on them soon.
