Today, I'm going to share with you something that I have made before, but not recently, and was just thinking about today.  It is the rainbow salad.  When I last made it, I just chopped up a bunch of different colored fruits and veggies and threw them together.  But I want to spice things up a little bit.  I was browsing the internet for some salad inspiration, and came upon Martha Stewart's shredded rainbow salad.  Perfect!  That would be a great way to change things up!  Maybe I'll make a great salad dressing too!
(This is Martha Stewart's salad, not mine, but it's so gorgeous that I couldn't resist posting it!)
Now I'm going to talk about how great the rainbow salad is for you!  So, let's say I have a salad that is partly fruit and partly veggies.  I have raspberries, tomatoes, carrots, yellow peppers, pears, spinach, avocado, blueberries, cauliflower, and blackberries.  Delicious!  The raspberries have antioxidants that fight cancer, vitamin K, and a ton of fiber.  The tomatoes have cancer-fighting antioxidants too, they are great for your heart, and they act sort of like sunscreen too!  The carrots are full of beta-carrotine, ward off cancer, and helps your eyes.  The avocados are filled with healthy fats, the list goes on and on!  Do I need to say anything more?  Try this out at home!  It's delicious and nutritious!
