Beauty Boosting Vitality Salad w/ Figs + Pomegranate

Beauty Boosting Vitality Salad w/ Figs + Pomegranate

I always try and enjoy one big salad every day. I use whatever fresh greens are in season at the time and I like to vary the leaf variety to get a combination of flavours that just sing in your mouth when you eat it. For this salad, I’ve used leafy greens and vitamin C rich oranges to promote collagen production for healthy skin. I've also drizzled with antioxidant rich avocado oil that is rich in vitamin E to combat skin ageing.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

150 g baby spinach leaves

80 g micro-green salad mix (or other green sprouts)

4 figs, cut in half (alternatively you can use kiwi fruit that are high in vitamin C)

1 pomegranate (click here to see how to remove the seeds)

1 orange, peeled and sliced

80 g goats feta

1 tablespoon pistachio nuts or almonds, chopped

few sprigs of fresh thyme

METHOD

Toss spinach and micro-salad greens into a large serving bowl.

Arrange the figs and slices of orange through the salad.

Remove the seeds from the pomegranate and scatter over and through the salad.

Combine all the ingredients for the salad dressing and drizzle over the salad.

Serve and enjoy.
