So let's begin. Today we're gonna make a colorful salad. I had a bunch of veggies
in my fridge and I decided to make a fresh salad that I have as a side dish
with my main meal. So let's begin. I'm using romaine lettuce. A few leaves. The
amount depends on you. As long as you try it out. You take as much as you want
to eat. I put a few leaves here. I chopped
them up. Romaine lettuce as we know is high minerals. It has calcium, magnesium.
It's packed with vitamin A and K and it's packed with folate as well. Which is
great for our body. After that, I sliced a bit of carrots. So we're gonna put some
carrots. Carrots are packed with vitamin A as well. They're high in vitamins and
minerals and fiber and they make such a nice salad when they are
nicely shredded like this. As you can see, I also have some radishes. I love
this root vegetable. I eat a lot of it actually. I'm adding a little bit
in the salad. A few. The radishes are packed with nutrients. They're fresh. They
give a lot of flavor. They're packed with vitamin A and C as well. We're gonna add
a little bit of tomatoes. These are cherry tomatoes that I sliced up in half.
They're high in antioxidants and they're a great source of vitamin C
and potassium. We're gonna add our herbs. I try to add fresh herbs in each of my
salads. Here in this case I'm using cilantro. I love the taste gives a lot of
flavor and you don't need to put a lot of salt in your salad after
because herbs provide a lot of flavor and they provide a lot of
nutrients. They help you cut down on salt. For people that like onions, I'm
using green onions, also called scallions. They're very high in vitamin E
as well. They're loaded with nutrients. So we're gonna add a little bit the onion
here. And to give a little boost to this salad, I'm gonna add hemp seeds. For you that
don't know, hemp seeds are rich in fiber and protein.
They have healthy fats, like omega 3s. I add them to my salad. I find
they have like a little bit of peanut flavor. It really provides a boost
to your salad and it's very, it's a superfood basically. It's nutritious and
you can find it in any supermarket and it's inexpensive. For the vinaigrette, I
made a simple vinaigrette. Which I'm using olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon
mustard, maple syrup, garlic, sea salt and black pepper. I'm giving it a little
bit of a mix. You can keep this vinaigrette in the fridge up to seven
days. It's fresh. It's nice and it pairs well with any salad. Here we go.
So I used a little bit of olive oil. 3 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, 1
tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 2 garlic cloves and I minced
them, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. We're gonna mix it up.
As you can see. Easy recipe to make. The only thing you have to do is wash
your vegetables, cut them up and make the vinaigrette. You can make it a day in advance.
So you can have it ready. This salad is fresh, tastes amazing
wonderful for your supper tonight or your dinner. If you want to
add more nutrition to it, you can add some beans, pinto beans, navy beans.
Whatever you like. I love to add whole foods to my daily diet. It's important
for the environment, for the animal and for our body. So if you like the videos
