It is a warm day on the Pacific Coast. I wanted a light crispy, crunchy filling salad to compliment my main chicken dish without the high-carb dressing. If you are on a diet, want to lose weight, or prevent high blood sugars, you may want to add this as a side or main dish to your list of meal options.
I started by combining some of the foods I was craving as an experiment; fresh refrigerated strawberries to quench my sweet tooth. Crispy cold hearts of romaine lettuce to keep the salad light. Crunchy carrots to satisfy my need for a different texture and room temperature raw walnuts to add a bit of protein.
Foods with additives can deplete our health from nutrients that keep us strong and healthy. The fresh ingredients in the Strawberry Walnut Salad build a stronger body with the added nutritional ingredients of Vitamin C, Potassium, Magnesium, Fiber, A and C, folate, vitamin K and Beta Carotene.
We want to eat foods that keep our immune system strong to prevent us from getting sick.
