A small but mighty salad to keep you young, strong and beautiful

With a base of beef tomato, this salad is rich in antioxidant foods which help to combat premature ageing and reduce the risk of deadly diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Chock-full of nutrients, tomatoes  rich in potassium, folate, vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber and lycopene to name just a few. They can help lower your risk of heart disease, and suppress free radicals which can damage cells.

Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, a deficiency of which could result in asthma, anxiety and depression, and also contain iron, calcium, magnesium,potassium, and sodium.

Both Brazil nuts and watercress are said to improve thyroid function, whilst the latter contains large amounts of vitamins C,A and E, more iron than spinach and, more calcium than milk. Research has linked it to a reduction in wrinkles, and improved overall skin-health.

Olive oil helps to lower the risk of heart disease, and lime juice is anti-inflammatory, among its many benefits.

This salad may only be small but it packs a punch nutritionally! It should accompany one of the following soups: Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup, 10 Minute Energy Boosting Soup, Minted Pea Soup, Creamy Smooth Sweetcorn Soup.

Ingredients

  • One whole beef tomato, sliced
  • 2 Brazil nuts, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 fresh lime, juiced
  • Watercress

Method

  1. Add all the ingredients onto a bed of watercress.
