Summer Salad by HLife Photography
Summer time means beach time, high water-content fruits, lots of alkaline/ionized H2O, and, for sure, even more consumption of DELICIOUS salads!!! This has been my basic summer salad, with some variations here and there. It’s easy to make, taste-alicious, simple and nutrish, so much so that I even take this salad on the go, and savor every bite where ever I am.
Prep: Add all ingredients into a large bowl, season with Celtic sea salt, freshly squeezed lime juice and Udo’s oil (with DHA). The sesame tofu sticks are optional. I bake them in the oven for 15 minutes, but some times I buy them at Whole Foods at the deli area already made. They always have them available and they’re made with organic tofu (I already checked with the manager). Make sure you mix the salad well for all the juices and flavors to blend.
Nutritional info: Bell peppers and lime are super high in Vitamin C, an antioxidant that shields DNA from free radical damage. Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, which is the glue that holds the body together and keeps the skin young. Spinach and Heirloom tomatoes are so amazing, we glorified them in our HFood section, so check those out there. Your body needs good fats in order to burn body fat, and avocado is a great source for this. We call avocados, “the butter of the gods”. They provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber (colon-cleansing), potassium (electrolyte), Vitamin E (cancer-fighter), B-vitamins (nervous system support and overall health maintenance) and folic acid (cell production).
What a wonderful recipe, love it!
I replaced Udo’s oil for olive oil because I didn’t have it handy, but I’ll make it again with the Udos oil as soon as a get it!
