Very sad & overwhelmed since Spring Equinox. The weather has been too cold for my Boricua taste, here in Northern Virginia. So I decided that I needed spinach salad. I planned it out so every ingredient would max up my sense of well-being. Since food is not my expertise, just know that all of these ingredients are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidents. I’m going to eat a salad every day for lunch or dinner and see how I feel. Here is my recipe:
Spinach – iron
Cherry Tomatoes – lycopene in the skins
Carrots – beta-carotene
Black Beans, Peas or Chickpeas – iron, copper, zinc, potassium, calcium
Blueberries or Blackberries – vitamins, antioxidents especially resveratrol
Dry Coconut – triglicerides – fuels good moods
Pumpkin Seeds – tryptophan
Drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fruit or Balsamic Vinegar & Lemon
Pink Himalayan Salt & Fresh Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
BTW: if anybody tries this salad or some permutation please let me know!!!!!
