If you are after a light, simple, colourful and flavourful salad this summer I would recommend giving this a try. It’s perfect if you are strapped for time and need to whip up a healthy dish. It contains colourful fresh ingredients that combined well together to nourish your body and give you a boost of energy. Colourful salads also provide a wider variety of nutrients to help your body flourish.

I definitely wouldn’t’ skip the dressing on this salad, it adds a beautiful flavour to the dish and is full of good fats from the olive oil. Fats are essential as they help the body digest and absorb all the nutrients in this salad. Feel free to play around with ingredients in this salad, you could easily swap the purple cabbage to green cabbage, add roasted pumpkin, additional leafy greens, avocado or cherry tomatoes.
