Healthy food should be simple and delicious. With just 4 ingredients, you’ll get your omega-3’s, raise your brain function, and build your immune system. Yay! This salad tastes amazing with my Easy Flax Oil Dressing! Beets are loaded with immune-boosting, anti-cancer nutrients, and vitamin C. They’re rich in essential minerals like potassium for healthy brain and muscle function. Omega-3 fatty acids in flax oil are incredibly important for your body and brain. DHA is a type of omega-3 that’s a structural component of the brain and retina of the eye. Omega-3’s are said to fight depression and anxiety, improve eyesight, and reduce symptoms of ADHD in children. That’s a LOT of nutrient goodness! I had this salad for lunch today!
Serves 2 as a main dish, or 4 as a side salad.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh organic beets, scrubbed or peeled, sliced into bite-size pieces.
- 3 large handfuls fresh organic baby spinach
