What’s not to like! This nutritious and delicious salad is packed full of vital nutrients with amazing avocado containing over 18 important vitamins and minerals and healthy fat. Blood oranges which are high in antioxidants and loaded in vitamin C.
Unlike other citrus fruits, blood oranges contain anthocyanins, the same red flavonoid pigments that give blueberries their intense colour and amazing antioxidant levels. Pomegranates are packed with flavonoids and polyphenols. Place all of the above ingredients on a bed of watercress and rocket which are nutrient rich in their own right -drizzle with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of your favourite seeds and you are sorted! This salad is versatile and works well on its own or with cheese such as feta or halloumi or with salmon, king prawns or chicken – adds a bit of sparkle to any table!
