The Antioxidant Summer Salad

If you’re looking for a way to jazz up a dark leafy green salad, try this Antioxidant Summer Salad.

Salads are without a doubt in my top three favorite meals, and what’s not to love? The possibilities are endless, depending on protein preference, season, texture, and then of course how you choose to dress it.

Being that we are in the full effects of spring, we couldn’t think of a more fitting salad that provides you with an extra antioxidant boost, just for good measure.

First and foremost, most salads made with whole food ingredients are “antioxidant salads” because dark leafy greens, vegetables, and common salad items are great sources of antioxidants!

What earns this salad the special title is due to a few key ingredients that are richer in antioxidants than others. This includes blueberries, strawberries, beets, sprouts, watercress (or you can use whatever dark leafy green you enjoy), lemon, olive oil, sea salt, pumpkin seeds, and dried mulberries.
