Chakra Salad
Raw Vegetable Chakra Salad
Raw veggie salads are high in fibre, water, and antioxidants, especially colourful ones like this salad of purple cabbage, red peppers, and carrots. It’s important to dress your salads with healthy monounsaturated oils which allow fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) to be fully absorbed and utilised by your body. The fats in this salad come from a perfect combo of nuts, seeds, and avocados. High fibre will keep you feeling full and fats will keep you satisfied. Don’t be shy with the dressing. Its only 30 calories per tablespoon so dress it up and enjoy this power-packed salad that is perfect for hot weather. Sweet, nutty, crispy, crunchy...YUM!
