A Simple Salad: Nature's Multivitamin
Raw, freshly cleaned vegetables with a simple dressing are nature's multivitamin — high in vitamin C, E, and lycopene.
A simple salad and a simple dressing go a long way. Salads are loaded with multivitamins, minerals and fibres.
The consumption of raw freshly cleaned vegetables, in addition to a simple salad dressing, is nature's multivitamin — high in vitamins, especially vitamin C and E, and lycopene (an anti-aging nutrient).
Many studies have found greater health outcomes in people who eat a daily salad. The dressing matters too: extra virgin olive oil helps your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins.
