I love a salad with powerful flavours like this one. The cooked ingredients make it easier to digest, and more warming on colder spring days.
The orange makes the salad fresh and exciting, but it’s also high in antioxidant vitamin C.
Spring is when Beetroot is in season. This vibrant purple root vegetable is not only high in fibre, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Beetroots also come in a variety of colours: white, yellow, pink and dark purple giving it its phytonutrient properties.
Quinoa is a great addition to the salad as it’s not only high in fibre but it’s high in protein and has a low glycemic index.
