Carrot Salad
Cool Summer Salads – Nutritious, Delicious, and Better Than Air Conditioning
With the added attention that vegetables have received over the past two decades, salads have become almost a staple in the average Westerner’s diet. Even fast food restaurants have gotten into the act by featuring tossed and meat salads in their menus, with some establishments having a well-stocked salad bar. Since salads are not cooked and are often made with fresh vegetables gotten from the refrigerator, they are definitely a “cool” dish, and what better time to eat our garden greens than in the hot, sticky summer!
Properly prepared salads, along with a tasty, healthy dressing, provide one with a range of nutrients, an easy-to-prepare snack or meal, and an abundance of life-giving enzymes. Even vegetable-hating kids will often scream for a well-crafted and tasty salad. If you have trouble getting your children to eat vegetables, read on and get busy!
Carrot Salad
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 2 ears of corn, kerneled (do not cook the corn)
- 4 Brussels sprouts, sliced thin
- 1 cup of clover sprouts
- Romaine or butter lettuce for two
- Your favorite dressing
Prepare a bed of lettuce. Combine the first five ingredients and scoop onto the lettuce. Pour your favorite dressing over the top. Serves two.
Nutritional Benefits: This salad is usually a hit with the kids, and combines the high beta-carotine of the carrots and lettuce, the vitamin C of the cabbage and Brussels sprouts, and the B vitamin content of the sprouts and corn. Romaine lettuce and clover sprouts are also fair source of various minerals, including calcium and magnesium. Best served with avocado dressing.
