If you think a salad is a spare bit of lettuce and tomato slices, then think again!! Salads should be BURSTING forth with all your favourite veggies and all those essential vitamins and minerals that we all need.
Try roasting some potatoes, cherry tomatoes and artichokes on a bed of leafy green with a lovely balsamic dressing. Artichokes are FANTASTIC for aiding digestion and boosting your good cholesterol (HDL)levels (or what we like to call "Heroes").
You can even add a fruity twist by mixing it up with some pineapple, which is a great vitamin C source too!
Remember, you don't have to saturate your salad with processed dressing such as mayonnaise, mustard and thousand island dressing (before you ask, I am referring to the vegan version of these condiments!!). Instead, for for fresh herbs such as Coriander, Thyme of give it that zing with grated ginger and garlic (yes I said garlic!! It is great for your heart and try eating an apple afterwards to take out the strong taste from your tongue!!)
