Superfood Salad

We all know we’re supposed to eat a balanced diet. Most likely you can remember your mother telling you “you have to eat your vegetables” and “you are what you eat”. Hopefully at some point in our lives those words of wisdom take hold.

Did you know that some healthy foods are considered more superior than others? Superfoods, usually extremely high in vitamins, antioxidants, or other beneficial properties, can help promote all over good health. Some examples of superfoods are nuts, seeds, dried fruits, dark green vegetables like leafy greens and Brussels sprouts, fatty fish (like salmon and trout), citrus, and vegetables or fruits with bright, dark intense colors and legumes such as lentils. You can find those in this Superfood Salad.
