Dressed Up Salads


It is very easy to give our salads a boost with the following nutritious and delicious superfoods:

Eggs will give salads an instant boost of protein. Each hard-boiled egg adds 6 grams of the nutrient for less than 30 cents an egg.

Walnuts are a good source of Omega 3. A quarter-cup of chopped nuts contains five grams of protein and two grams of fibre.

Red cabbage is an excellent source of Vitamin C and beta carotene. And, it also offers protection against cancer.

Sunflower seeds are loaded with Vitamin E and also contain thiamin, selenium, and magnesium.

Strawberries add colour and sweetness to any salad. Also, one cup contains 103 mg of Vitamin C.

Lentils add instant fibre to any salad. Three-quarters of a cup contains six grams of fibre and less than one gram of fat.
