Fresh nutritious salad
Sunday, February 26, 2017
Hi everyone! Today we wanted to share with you a healthy recipe using fresh veggies and fruit, but also containing filling grains and complementing sweet sour sauce. You can make this salad for dinner, take it to school/work or as a post workout meal.
It's really good for you, contains a lot of greens, veggies and fruit. We also made our plain usual dressing, that actually you can use with any kind of meal. Apple and cucumber give refreshing taste and crunch, the good fats are in the avocado and grains. We are using bulgur because it's easy to make just as quinoa, but a little bit less expensive and at the same time it's important to eat healthy and not spend so much money on that! What's amazing about this kind of wheat it has a high amount of fiber and protein and most vitamins and minerals. So it's just a bowl of health - vitamins, protein and fiber! :D
