Garden salad 🥗

Eating well and healthy is the best way to prevent diseases. But in this case, we are talking about food that heals. Well, the best formula to prepare our salads is to incorporate different elements that provide a shower of color.

Not only for the aesthetic aspect, which also stimulates the senses. But also, because studies have shown that the pigments that provide the color of each of the foods, also provide not only antioxidants, but specific benefits to our health.

In addition, it is also interesting and beneficial to incorporate cooked but also raw vegetables and greens.

I had in mind to prepare something super spectacular. However, I had to figure out how to prepare my psychedelic salad with what I had in the fridge.

I called my psychedelic salad today "Garden Salad". Because as you can see, it has roses, lilies and leaves formed with the ingredients used.

ECOTRAIN MEDICINAL COOKING COMPETITION # 2 -PSYCHEDELIC SALAD. MY ENTRY

When I was pregnant I had almost no desire to eat almost anything, because I lost my appetite and I think it is normal in almost all women who are in that state, but there was only one thing I always wanted to eat and that was salads.

So I spent the day looking for healthy salad recipes so I could enjoy them. I tried so many and there really is nothing healthier than the fruit that comes from the earth.

There is a saying that says you are what you eat. So if you eat healthy food it will help you keep your body in optimal conditions, as it will provide the necessary nutrients.

Vegetables have a large amount of vitamins and water in their composition, which allows our body to receive various benefits, they have the ability to satisfy our hunger quickly without increasing the calories we consume.

BEETROOT SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC DRESSING

This MEDICINAL COOKING COMPETITION WEEK 2 has been on my mind since last week. Even though I have been quite busy during this time, but as soon as I saw the content of this contest posted, I reminded myself that I definitely can't miss it. The weather these days is quite hot plus my husband is on a diet so salad is a perfect choice for an evening meal. I had several salad ideas in my head, but my husband suggested making something related to beetroot because there was still a bag of beetroot left in the fridge which I bought a week ago. You may think I am a big fan of beetroot because in the last competition, my soup also contained some beetroot as a main ingredient. Actually not really, I like the color of beetroot and its health benefits but don't eat it very often. Beetroot is a vegetable that contains a variety of vitamins A, C, and folic acid. This is one of the great foods that bring many benefits to the body such as reducing the risk of heart attack, reducing fatigue. It's also my first time making this salad. Just simply throw all in a dish. I didn't expect much but the final result came out pretty nice.

Even though beetroot is the star of the dish, the salad can't be completed without other ingredients. When I started mixing the veggies, I thought, oh no, maybe I didn't get the theme right, the competition is about colorful salads but my dish only has 2 colors, red purple from beetroot and green from spinach, rocket, cucumber. But as soon as I added feta cheese and walnuts in the last step, the dish was enhanced, its result was very eye-catching. This is a salad that has the right balance of flavour, simplicity, texture, and beauty while being simple enough for anyone to prepare.

Banana flower + pork and jellyfish salad

Hello @Ecotrain community and members of the Hive community. 😄
I saw my friends who entered the contest "THE MEDICINAL COOKING" and had great food. So I decided to participate in this contest, fortunately my dish today fits the requirements of the contest. That is "Salad" - delicious, cool and especially healthy food.🥗🥗🥗 The dish I want to share with you now is called: "Banana flower salad + pork and jellyfish". I guess this dish has similar versions in other countries such as: China, Thailand, Cambodia.. and this dish is really interesting because it has a combination of many ingredients. 😄😄😄

What salad means?

Salad is a mixture of vegetables, roots and sauces, which can be chilled before serving or eaten directly at room temperature. There are many different types of salad in the world and in Vietnam salad is also a dish that can be prepared in many different ways. Don't think that a salad is just a fresh mix of vegetables LOL in Vietnam, salad is often combined with meat and seafood. 😝😜I usually make Asian-flavored salads for my family like: Chicken salad, jellyfish salad, beef salad, crispy pork ear salad, lotus root salad, cabbage and shrimp salad, .. In all the salads I mentioned above we add peanuts and herbs, and the dressing is fish sauce. Salad can be used as an appetizer, side dish, main dish, dessert, and ..salad can be eaten at any time of the day. 😉😉😉

Psychedelic salad.

Hello everyone, I am glad to be able to participate in this psychedelic medicinal salad contest. Interesting theme. When I think of colorful salads that heal the body and mind, I think of this salad that I present to you below.

At one time it was my lifeline, because due to overweight I was in poor health. My body was collapsed and needed a change, I had to help it heal. All the nutritionists I visited agreed that I had to detoxify my body and among other things they suggested nutritious salads, full of vitamins and minerals. That is why, as I mentioned in previous posts, in my town, where it is common to see many vegetables planted, it was easy for me to get what I needed and thus vary the salads.
