Fruit & Nut Salad
Did you know that adding nuts or seeds to vegetables and fruit increases our ability to absorb their phytonutrients? These naturally occurring compounds give fruit and vegetables their colour and protect the plants from disease. In our bodies, they provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Make this salad in a jar in the morning and it will still be crisp when you’re ready to eat it at lunchtime.
