Have You Had Your Salad Today?

Salads should be featured every day for both lunch and dinner or at least for one of the meals. Salads provide us with the essential nutrients, roughage or fibre required and are tummy fillers. Getting kids to enjoy salad ingredients and a mixture of salads is important from an early age. Start off by giving them sticks of carrots, cucumber, tomato slices, bell pepper slices etc.

Do you throw away the white part of the watermelon rind? Don’t, as it can be used and contains high amount of citrulline, an amino acid that helps to build up protein in our bodies and helps to open up veins and arteries for good blood flow. Eating it raw in the form of salad is the best way to get the full health benefits of the rind.

Food For Thought

Yesterday, I was with a group of women and one of them commented that not all fruits can be included in a salad. I chose to differ as I can make any fruit into a salad. Also the proof is above that any vegetable or fruit can be added to a salad. This started a discussion where someone pointed out that if any tropical fruit we get commonly in Kenya were to feature in a salad served by a posh restuarant here or abroad, we would happily order it, eat it, pay a hefty price for it and shower a million praises. So why can’t we include whichever fruit we have at home in our salad dish?
